PureBasic Forums - English

Hi!

Im new with PureBasic, although a long, long, time programming with various Basics.

There is a thing that is driving me crazy, but I guess it has to be a really silly thing.

I have created a Proyect, with 2 files, MAIN, and SECOND

Both files are in the proyect (or so I think), but I can not call PROCEDURES created in SECOND from MAIN program.

If I type in MAIN, autocomplete finds the procedure created in SECOND, but after I click RUN, I got the error "MyProc() is not a function,..."

What am I doing wrong?

Hello,

Did you put in your MAIN file IncludeFile "SECOND" file ?

Best regards

Yes, it did the work.

Thank you.

(I though it would be automatically included)

The files to be included in a project are not automatically included because it can be done conditionally (i.e. depending on the type of CPU) since a project can compile several versions at the same time.

PS. Also prefer XInclude to Include. We most often use .pbi as an extension to differentiate Include files from others, but it doesn't matter.

I have this

/Purebasic
//MyProyect
...main.pb
...tobeincluded.pb
//CommonFunctions
...Zones.pb

I can add "zones.pb" to my proyect, but how do I include it?

How do I include it? Will

INCLUDE "zones.pb"

works, as it is added to the proyect, or have I to include with full/relative path?

The files you add in the Project Manager are just data that allows the IDE to know for example which scanner files to use for the variable list.
It's just the main project file must contain XInclude lines
It also allows you to launch the compilation of the project even if you are not editing the main file.
If the files to be included are in different directories from the main file, then you must specify the path (absolute or relative)

i.e Main.pb PS Avoid full path as this cause problem if you move project in future.

Damm... my purebasic programs are in a google drive folder, so they are updated between my computers... so, the full path is not the same always...

I don't use Google Drive, but it should be possible to map a resource such as a network drive or by UNC
Other solution: synchronize local and remote (RoboCopy, Syncbackup) or even create a local GIT repository on Google Drive ?

Google Drive has itself a synchronice program but the path is "C:\Users\oneuser\Google Drive" and in another computer, "C:\Users\otheruser\Google Drive"

I will try using

INCLUDE "../CommonFuntions/zones.pb"

perhaps it works...

No problem. You can map a drive letter to a local directory on each PC ("Net use" works on local using \\localhost as "server" name) So you can then use Z: wherever you where
