Hello All,

I'm compiling my program, and i keep getting this error:

obj/Debug/fubar.o||In function `fubar::fubarl(int*, int*)':|
/home/miguel/Documents/pointersandref/fubar.cpp|7|multiple definition of `fubar::fubarl(int*, int*)'|
obj/Debug/fubar.o:/home/miguel/Documents/pointersandref/fubar.cpp|7|first defined here|
||=== Build finished: 2 errors, 0 warnings ===|

This is my complete source code

fubar.cpp

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "fubar.h"



void fubar::fubarl(int *foo, int *bar)
 {
     int drawx = 0;
     int drawy = 0;
     static int timesrun = 0;
     while(drawx < *foo)
       {

           printf("*");
           drawx++;
           timesrun++;

           if (timesrun = *foo)
           {
             printf("\n");
             timesrun = 0;
           }
       }
 }

How do i fix this, and explain why this happens

How are you compiling?
I compiled your project and it ran fine:

g++ main.cpp fubar.cpp -o output.exe

I'm compiling it like i normally compile any program in Code::Blocks

The project is set up like this?

And you're sure that the code is #include-ing the header and not the source?

#include "fubar.h" // like this
#include "fubar.cpp" // not like this


That latter is a usual suspect for this type of error.

As posted in #1, the code builds fine for me. Running the code brings up other issues.

Yeah, I'm sure...and i know running it would have some probs, it's not done yet
