Including Files

I'm using Borland C++ Builder 3.0 on Windows XP.

I'm having a hard time trying to compile a program.

The program is made up of about 9 or so cpp programs.

I try to include these cpp pages in the main page:

USEUNIT("CHKARC.CPP");
USEUNIT("CHKVAL.CPP"); etc..

However, when I compile it, I get the following Warnings/errors:

[C++Warning] style of function definition is now obsolete.
[C++Error] ) expected.

I get these errors for each cpp file that I try to include in the program.

How do you include multiple cpp pages in your project? Any advice would be greatly appreaciated.

I'm not sure, exactly (I'm only 5 days into C++ myself), but I'd say you should use #include "filename.ext". I've seen other people use #include that way, and your error says that your way if including (that is, the "style of function") is obsolete (no longer works or is needed). Also, the ) expected error may be from you forgetting a ).

I don't know what this USEUNIT is, or when it was ever used in programming, and in this case I do not think it is needed at all. I would simply remove the lines and see what you get.

Thank you for the advice, it has helped a great deal. I used #include instead and it worked. Additionally, I found the How do I article from Tonto very useful.

I had this problem as well. I had coded the following in my main program, filesTransform.cpp :-

.
.
.
#include <conio.h>
//----------------------------
USEUNIT("ftList.cpp");
USEUNIT("ftSet.cpp");
USEUNIT("ftXml.cpp");
//----------------------------
#include "filesTransform.hpp
.
.
.

When I moved #include "filesTransform.hpp above the USEUNIT declarations, the problem went away.

Why do these people keep replying to posts that have been dead for years???

A very good reason

I came across this post on a search because I had this problem. I found another answer which might be of use to others who do the same as me.

Think about it !!!
