Trouble W/OpenGL C++ Stuff

I get errors like the following:

Code:

---

E:\Programs\Projects\OpenGL Tests\Graphic OpenGL Stardate\sdopengl\mainsource.cpp(11) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '.'
E:\Programs\Projects\OpenGL Tests\Graphic OpenGL Stardate\sdopengl\mainsource.cpp(11) : error C2501: 'inface' : missing storage-class or type specifiers

---

Here's the code. If anybody finds something, can you post answers because I can't find out why.

3 Downloads=No Responces?
Why? Oh and enjoy my new signature... I got bored on the IRC w/da cprogramming.com people.

Well, its OpenGL code. It probably takes long to read.

I'm going to download it now.

well, my problem isn't in the opengl I think... most of it is directly copied from nehe. I'm learning fonts.

Well one thing i notice is that you are calling methods on inface in the global scope (i.e. outside of main) which cant happen. If they are meant to be called before startup then why not call them right away in main(WinMain)? Well I put them there and it all worked so.....happy now?

I didn't understand what you meant? Can you show me what you mean? Just post the snippet of code that you changed.

I'm checking the code as we speak and posting its problems

#1

You're executing a class's functions outside of any function?
These where at the top of the source along with the globals,
Not allowed.

Code:

---


inface.find_current();
inface.find_century();
inface.find_dayofyear();
inface.find_timeofday();

---

#2

I removed these lines from the header because old iostream
aren't used anymore and it would be crazy to still support them,
Besides my compiler doesn't like the old rubbish iostreams either:rolleyes:

Code:

---

#pragma deprecated(_OLD_IOSTREAMS_ARE_DEPRECATED)
extern void _OLD_IOSTREAMS_ARE_DEPRECATED();

---

so where do i have to put the functions?

You mean where to CALL the function as you called them at
the top of the source, You should call a function within another
function most of the time. (This is one of the fundementals of c++
, How can you go wrong here?)

Now I get these errors. Oh and to that function thing, yah um... I was kind'a out of it last night when i wrote the code... very tired. Thanks.

Have you removed those 4 function calls? Wich you posted the
errors of above?

I need those function calls... why should I get rid of them?:confused:

Oke, So you need them to run at the beginning? Then put the
calls in WinMain (where the program actually starts and not at
the top of the source).

i've had them there for a while now... that hasn't changed anything.:confused:

What do mean by that? It still gives errors?

it still gives errors.

Ah $$$$e, Post your NEW code then.

Code:

Well it runs without a glitch here:confused:

NOOOOooooo!!!:(

TD, can you take a screenshot and send it to me... So I can atleast now what it looks like. TIA. :confused:

It is supposed to show some text but i think that problem lies
with your class.

I think you are confused, i told you way back that you just have to move those function calls to inside WinMain but you moved the objects whole declaration to WinMain instead. You need to still create inface globally, just invoke its methods right away in WinMain.

Ok, so I just changed that... Nothing different... Except for 15 more errors.

ok here i changed it to run and ill upload it. And it runs fine here and shows 2003

ooooooo, thanks.
