Problem using libharu library

Hello,

I'm developing a program in c++ with visual studio 2008 to acces to a data base and make pdf documents with the information. For this, i have chosen to use c++ with mysql-connector-c++ to acces to data base. I use the static library and it works perfect, and giving more information i had to change some properties:

(1)- Linker - General: Add the lib directory to "Aditional library directories"
(2)- Linker - Entrance/Input: Add files 'mysqlcppcon-static.lib' and 'libmysql.lib' to Aditional dependences.
(3)- C++ - General: Add include directory to "Aditional include directory"
(4)- C++ - Preprocessor: WIN32;NDEBUG;_CONSOLE;CPPCONN_PUBLIC_FUNC=

Then i, start with libharu library to create the pdf. First of all, i have tried to run an example of libharu page. I configurate the lib directory, the additional dependences and the include directory. It works perfect. The code used is:

Code:

As it works perfect, i tried to introduce this test to my development program. Then i create a class to generate the pdf's and i tried to run the example as first objective. Then my problems start. I have configured the properties of the solution adapting the steps (1), (2) and (3) with the new directories and files. After that and after to repair all the compilation errors my code is this:

The problem is that now, i get linking errors... i'm a beginner and i don't understand very well what is happening and how to fix it... I have tried to use libharu dinamic and static library and the problems are the same... The translations of the error's are this:

1>ControladorDades.obj : error LNK2005: already defined "int * env" (?env@@3PAHA) in ControladorConsola.obj
1>ControladorDades.obj : error LNK2005: already defined "void __cdecl error_handler(unsigned long,unsigned long,void *)" (?error_handler@@YAXKKPAX@Z) in ControladorConsola.obj
1>ControladorDomini.obj : error LNK2005: already defined "int * env" (?env@@3PAHA) in ControladorConsola.obj
1>ControladorDomini.obj : error LNK2005: already defined "void __cdecl error_handler(unsigned long,unsigned long,void *)" (?error_handler@@YAXKKPAX@Z) in ControladorConsola.obj
1>PDF.obj : error LNK2005: already defined "int * env" (?env@@3PAHA) in ControladorConsola.obj
1>PDF.obj : error LNK2005: already defined "void __cdecl error_handler(unsigned long,unsigned long,void *)" (?error_handler@@YAXKKPAX@Z) in ControladorConsola.obj
1>D:\VS PROJECT\nucleo\Release\nucleo.exe : fatal error LNK1169: founded one or more symbol defined simultaneously


Muchas gracias por la ayuda!!!!

You define the function (including function body) error_handler in PDF.h which is included by multiple of your files, thus the linker finds multiple definitions of the functions when trying to link your object files together.

Instead, just declare the function in the header file (no function body) and define it in PDF.cpp.

Likewise with env. Declare as extern in the header file and define in the cpp file.

Thank you very much, i have solved the problem as you said and now it works. But i have a new problem, i have substituyed the env by an exception management but when i throw the exception i get a uncontrolled exception... To solve it, i have created a function error, but i think that is not very elegant... jejej. I post the code changed: (the alternative funcion error is commented, i only use the try catch in the sentence where exception is produced...)
