Linker errors when compiling

Hi
I'm writing a basic game, but when I try to compile it I get ~80 linker errors. Those linker errors are caused by some symbols that I include in a standard header file and gets redifend all the time.
I've tried to stop this by writing

Code:

#pragma once

and the normal

Code:

#ifndef _HEADER_FILE 
#define...

and rebuilt the whole thing 4 times but nothing seems to work.

This is an example of a linker error:

Code:

CGameApp.obj : error LNK2005: "struct D3DXCOLOR g_Black" (?g_Black@@3UD3DXCOLOR@@A) already defined in main.obj

All are quite similar. Everyone is about a global variable that I define in the header.
Would apreciate some help with this.

Thanks

Daniel

Post the header... in full.

Here is the code:

Code:

#pragma once
#ifndef _STD_INC_H_
#define _STD_INC_H_

#include <wchar.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <list>
#include <map>
#include <vector>


#include "math.h"
#include "optional.h"

#include <d3d9types.h>
#include <d3dx9.h>

#include "DXUT\Common\DXUT.h"
#include "DXUT\Common\DXUTmisc.h"
#include <boost\config.hpp>
#include <boost\shared_ptr.hpp>

using boost::shared_ptr;
#ifdef _DEBUG
#define W_NEW new (_NORMAL_BLOCK, __FILE__, __LINE__)

#else

#define W_NEW new
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#define VC_LEANMEAN
#endif

typedef unsigned int ActorId;

struct AppMsg
{
	HWND m_Hwnd;
	UINT m_uMsg;
	WPARAM m_wParam;
	LPARAM m_lParam;
};


enum AlphaType
{
	AlphaOpaque,
	AlphaTexture,
	AlphaMaterial,
	AlphaVertex
};
typedef D3DXCOLOR Color;

class Material
{
private:
	D3DMATERIAL9 m_Material;

	~Material() {}

	mat4x4				m_ToWorld, m_FromWorld;

	Material			m_Material;
	AlphaType			m_AlphaType;
};

#include "texture.h"
#include "SceneNode.h"

#define fOPAQUE (1.0f)
#define fTRANSPARENT (0.0f)

class ISceneNode;
typedef std::vector<shared_ptr<ISceneNode>> SceneNodeList;

//Those constants is getting redifined
vec3 g_Up(0, 1, 0);
vec3 g_Forward(0, 0, 1);
vec3 g_Right(1, 0, 0);

Color g_White(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, fOPAQUE);
Color g_Black(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, fOPAQUE);
Color g_Red(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, fOPAQUE);
Color g_Green(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, fOPAQUE);
Color g_Blue(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, fOPAQUE);
Color g_Grey50(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, fOPAQUE);
Color g_Transparent(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, fTRANSPARENT);

#include "core_interfaces.h"
#endif

Some of the pieces is inspired by the book: Game Coding Complete by Mike McShaffry

These should be in ONE source file only

Code:

//Those constants is getting redifined
vec3 g_Up(0, 1, 0);
vec3 g_Forward(0, 0, 1);
vec3 g_Right(1, 0, 0);

Color g_White(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, fOPAQUE);
Color g_Black(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, fOPAQUE);
Color g_Red(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, fOPAQUE);
Color g_Green(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, fOPAQUE);
Color g_Blue(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, fOPAQUE);
Color g_Grey50(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, fOPAQUE);
Color g_Transparent(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, fTRANSPARENT);

Things like #pragma once and include guards only work on the single source file. Include them in another source file and it all starts all over again.

Look at your error message
CGameApp.obj : ... already defined in main.obj

Ahaa, I see. Thanks for the help I'll include them in main or something and make them external there. Again, thanks a lot for the help.
