Evil precompiled headers. Without fail, I always bump into this problem.
Here's what I do to fix it:
1) Make a new file:
// build.h -- build rules
#ifndef PILOT_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS_OFF
#define PILOT_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS_OFF
#endif
2) Save this in your project path somewhere
3) Go to your project settings. In Language Settings : C/C++ Language :
Prefix File, type in build.h and rebuild your project. I think this
basically makes the stuff in build.h take precidence over all other
#includes and stuff. In other words, you disable the use of precompiled
headers for your project. No big loss, I never trust PCH's anyway.
I honestly don't know what's going on with those damned precompiled headers.
I -always- do this on the start of any new project as one of the many Stupid
Codewarrior Tricks you just gotta do (like commenting out the unused 'Err
err;' declaration in Starter.cpp to avoid compiler nagging). It's either
that, or try to figure out what's going wrong with your precompiled headers.
Yuck!
Good luck,
