It's not done by just copying the files into the folder. You have to add the cpp file to your project settings (compile and link) of Visual Studio or whatever you use. Otherwise it will never compile and link the file.

I added both the header and source file to the /src/common folder. Obviously this folder is already registered in the project settings as additional include directory. If I create an instance of the class now, I get the linker error. 2010/1/5 Ronny Schedel <[email protected]> > You have to add the encryption cpp to your project, so it will be compiled > and linked. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Klaus Müller" <[email protected]> > To: "Discussion of Half-Life Programming" <[email protected] > > > Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2010 3:00 PM > Subject: Re: [hlcoders] File operations from stdio.h > > > In a way this is good news cause it should help me resolve the fopen > issue. > However, it turns up another problem.
