Why MSVC 6++ cannot find the .h file?

fl
Hi,
I am learning C++ from the following C++ website, which has some very
good small examples. For the second Fraction example, which has five
files:

Main.cpp
Fraction.cpp
Fraction.h
msoftcon.cpp
msoftcon.h
,,,,,
A Fraction class that has the ability to add, subtract, multiply,
divide and show various statistics of the fraction.

http://www.cplusplus.com/src/
,,,,,,,,,,,,,

When I compile them, MSVC 6++ compiler says:

error C2653: 'Fraction' : is not a class or namespace name
if I put Fraction.h with the .cpp under Source Files category.

If I put Fraction.h under Header Files category, the compiler cannod
find the .h file. I have also tried Settings in the Project menu
without success. I am new to MSVC and C++, could you help me the
settings? Thank you very much.

Did you #include "Fraction.h " in Main.cpp and Fraction.cpp?

In Main.cpp, Fraction.h is included.
At the end of Fraction.h, there is:
...........
#include "Fraction.c pp"
#endif
...........

Fraction.cpp seems to be part of declaration of class Fraction
function. I don't know how to solve this. Thanks.

You have to include the header in the source file. Your book should
explain this.

The Fraction.h is included in the main.cpp, see below.

// Allow the integer type to be changed on the fly
#define BIGGEST_INT int

#include <iostream.h// Include C++ input/output functions
#include <stdio.h> // Include C input/output functions
#include <conio.h // Include for pausing the program
#include <stdlib.h // Include C Library functions
#include "Fraction.h " // Includes the Fraction Header File
#include "msoftcon.h " // Allows more functionality to MVC++ console

int main() {
Fraction a;
Fraction b;
Fraction c;

Thanks.

The example is broken, I am afraid you may have to spend some time
reading the code and debugging. It will be a good learning
experience :)

A few tips if you want to learn C++:

1. While there are some websites out there which I would classify as
"not bad" there are none that I would consider "good", and they tend to
be very incomplete (not discussing important topics or only parts of
them). There are a number of good books out there, and if you search the
archives you can find a few that gets recommended often.

2. There are good compilers and there are bad compilers. MSVC++ 6 is one
of the worst, it is simply too old (almost 10 years now) and does not
support many features in C++. If you want to learn you have to get a
newer one, there are a number of gcc bases you can download, and
Microsoft's Visual C++ 2008 Express can also be downloaded for free.

Post a complete, minimal program that demonstrates the problem. That
means the header files as well as the source. See the newsgroup FAQ
under "how to post".

Hi,
Thank all of you very much. In fact, I am reading the cpp primer of
lippman now. And I have one MS .net V7.1 enen though it is not a
English version. I have downloaded the source code of that book. But I
don't know the best way to use it, i.e. How to compile it as in the
readme.txt file? It says:

--------------------
To use make on a Windows operating system you invoke the command
name "nmake":

## Windows machines
nmake # compiles all the programs
nmake clean # removes all the object files and stackdumps
nmake clobber # removes executable, object and stackdump
files
--------------------
My computer doesn't understand the nmake command. Could you tell me
something about that? Thanks again.

No need to #include the cpp. VC++ will compile the cpp if it is in
your 'source files' section of Solution Explorer (i.e., has been added
to the project).
