Error: redefinition of typedef xxxx

Rocha · 11-24-2008, 07:09 AM

Hello, I'm trying to compile my .C and I got this errors... The header file (gauge.h) is a SDK of a game (from Micro$oft).

I opened the file and preprocessor tags for preventing twice include has been found.
Any Idea? The header I'm using can be found here: http://pastebin.com/m6b3d71cf just to show you the lines I'm gettting errors

Thanks for reading my thread even you can't help me.

Code:

#ifndef GAUGE_H__
#define GAUGE_H__

...

#endif

Code:

There are two definitions of PELEMENT_STATIC_IMAGE in that file. Don't ask me why, but if there are two definitions of the same typedef, then I'd expect the compiler to give that error.

If you go to line 5076, and make that about the top of the screen, you can see line 5114 which defines the same type again.

You may want to check for any missing ';' as well that ends a 'c' statement.
