LOL. That sounds about right. :)
While I appreciate the humor, I'm afraid it leaves me no closer to understanding the problem. What is a "fatal error C1854"?
All MSDN says is:
Quote:
cannot overwrite information formed during creation of the precompiled header in object file: 'filename'
You specified the /Yu (use precompiled header) option after specifying the /Yc (create precompiled header) option for the same file. Certain declarations (such as declarations including __declspec dllexport) make this invalid.
Well, did you? And if you did, what for?Quote:

Your post is so short, that C2146a looks like part of the question, so I did my best to answer it :) My mistake...Quote:

stdafx.cpp is compiled first, and during this compilation all h-files included to it are scanned, and precompiled header (.pch) is created. This allows fast compilation of all other files, since information from h-files can be extracted from .pch file.
I read it that way too. The sig just made the post look like some kind of nutty ramble, not a real question.Quote:

The entire thing worked until one particular build and all the sudden it started complaining. I don't know what triggered it. I wish I remembered changing things.Quote:

What does stdafx stand for? And it has a parameter in it that creates a precompiled header file of all the other background header files?
Project - Properties - Configuration Properties - C/C++ - Precompiled Headers.
Create/use precompuled header: /Yu
Create/use pch through file: stdafx.h
Precompiled header file: $(IntDir)\$(TargetName).pch
Right-click on every .cpp file, except stdafx.cpp - it should have the same properties.
Right-click stdafx.cpp. It should have these properties:
Create/use precompuled header: /Yc
Create/use pch through file: stdafx.h
Precompiled header file: $(IntDir)\$(TargetName).pch
To see full command line, used for compilation, open file BuildLog.htm - many problems can be solved by reading this file. It contains full cl.exe command line for every compiled file.
