Wheres my mistake?
Tyvm for your anwsers.
Jump to PostMy guess is that you have a project that contains both a.cpp and b.cpp, then you have included a.cpp in b.cpp. You can't do that. In b.cpp remove the line that includes a.cpp.

It works and compiles if I comment out " #include"a.cpp" " in b.cpp, tyvm.
I guess the IDE does all those kinds of inclusions, hence if I add mine it includes the file twice, right?
You need to understand how the IDE works -- the project contains both a.cpp and b.cpp. The IDE calls the compiler for each of those *.cpp files, then links them together with other libraries to generate the *.exe file. That's one reason you should never include one *.cpp file in another.
