Error defining a structure

[T RATHA KRISHNAN]

Hi! I've declared a struct named CameraType globally in a file called GameManager.h. I'm trying to access it like this: CameraType cType; in a file called GamePlayState.cpp. I got the following error: IntelliSense: identifier "CameraType" is undefined d:\goldminer\source\game\gameplaystate.cpp 109 I've also included the GameManager.h file to the GamePlayState.cpp file. How to overcome this error?

Hoe did you declare the structure ? Show some code please.

struct CameraType
{
core::vector3df FRONTCAM;
core::vector3df BEHINDCAM;
core::vector3df TOPCAM;
};

did you include gamemanager.h ?

#include "GameManager.h"

Watched code never compiles.

I've already included. The proble is solved by declaring the structure as const. Is it a good approach?

Declaring something as const mean that you will not need to modify it later. It's very strange that changing your declaration to const fixed the problem, anyway I think that it's a bad approach. Can you post a code snippet of your declaration?

[Maximilien]

declaring as const should not generate the compilation error you had.

A misunderstanding: I meant the line of code on the .cpp file that gave you the error

Please check all the spellings you have defined and used once ... This works some times for me.
