    whats wrong with visual studio?

    hello all, im having a problem with my Visual studio 2008 , i recently tried to move my project to VC++ environment ( from codeblocks) , after making a console project and then adding files, when i try to compile the project i get the error :
    http://i39.tinypic.com/1z4xtle.jpg
    which as you can see ,says:"The system can not find the file specified"
    i also have the same problem with another project ( GUI this time), it gives me the same error message !

    i have this kind of error with all of my projects in C++ or VC++, i dont know why this is happening!
    and this is another screen shot showing the same error happening for another project this time a Visual C++ project!

    If you bother to look in the output window (I can see it in the screenshot) you can see that the build failed.

    I'm not sure, but that might result in your .exe not being found
    Code:
    //try
    //{
    	if (a) do { f( b); } while(1);
    	else   do { f(!b); } while(1);
    //}

    Maybe the error messages will help?
    Code:
    //try
    //{
    	if (a) do { f( b); } while(1);
    	else   do { f(!b); } while(1);
    //}

    You're not "listening."

    Your build failed, but you haven't provided the errors which are causing your build to fail. They're not on the screenshots.

    my bad , im sorry , i misunderstood you, yeah i checked that there is an error when linking :
    1>------ Build started: Project: CLA Emulator, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
    1>Linking...
    1>mapgetlinefromfile.obj : error LNK2005: _main already defined in main.obj
    1>F:\Coding Stuffs\Programming Stuff\Programming Center\C++\Project CLA\CLA WIP\Microsoft Visual Studio Projects\CLA Emulator\Debug\CLA Emulator.exe : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found
    1>Build log was saved at "file://f:\Coding Stuffs\Programming Stuff\Programming Center\C++\Project CLA\CLA WIP\Microsoft Visual Studio Projects\CLA Emulator\CLA Emulator\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
    1>CLA Emulator - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)
    ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
    i noticed that Microsoft's Visual C++ compiler tends to compile whatever .cpp it finds it the project no matter whether it was referenced and used in the project or not! unlike the codeblocks! that was my problem!

    You can exclude files from being compiled by right-clicking a file and select properties. There you can select an option to exclude it.
    Might be worth knowing.
