    Help with using a Function from a separate file.

    I'm currently trying to get this particular code to work. In it, I have a forward reference in main.cpp that doesn't seem to do its job. I created the actual function in another source file, but when I try to compile my program, these errors occur.

    You have to add the file to your project.

    Thanks. I'm totally new to C++. How would I go about in adding the file to my project? It seems to me that I do in fact have it added to my project.

    I have this under the tree management:

    You have mystuff.cpp in your project, but the other image shows that you are trying to use functions from safestuff.cpp.

    In Code::Blocks, right-click on the name of your project (over on the left-side window, under Workspace), click Add Files, and add the source files to your project.
