Mappyal.h conflicting declaration of BLKSTR and ANISTR

Mappyal.h conflicting declaration of BLKSTR and ANISTR

Hello, I'm looking out for this in the web but I cannot found anything about it. I compiled A project with mappyal.h and the compiler returns the next error:
||=== Build: Debug in RPG (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|
C:\Users\User\Desktop\RPG\mappyal.h|56|error: conflicting declaration 'typedef struct BLKSTR BLKSTR'|
C:\Users\User\Desktop\RPG\mappyal.h|56|note: previous declaration as 'typedef struct BLKSTR BLKSTR'|
C:\Users\User\Desktop\RPG\mappyal.h|66|error: conflicting declaration 'typedef struct ANISTR ANISTR'|
C:\Users\User\Desktop\RPG\mappyal.h|66|note: previous declaration as 'typedef struct ANISTR ANISTR'|

||=== Build failed: 2 error(s), 1 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s)) ===|

How it is? I didn't modify the code of the file and I followed all intructions to build mappyal.h. I'm using Codeblocks under Windows 10. :

Here I put the header file

NOTE: I'm starting programing in C/C++ and Allegro 4.2.2 ;RE

Almost certainly you have included mappyal.h twice, either directly or indirectly. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Include_guard

Second issue, on line 46 I guess you have something like:

char* text = "some text";

Just change char* to const char*

Well. I'll try this and return after that

Ok. I did it but the compiler now send me this errors:

||=== Build: Debug in RPG (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|

What is this error? I don't know why.

I followed the instructions to build the .o file and link it to my project (It is explained in the README.txt of Mappy) Should I rebuild it? What steps should I follow to link the mappyal under Codeblocks in Windows?

Thanks for the responses :RE

It looks like you're linking more than once.

Either add mappyal.c to your project, or link it once at the end.

King Piccolo will make it so Then I could just flip it with some sweet, sweet matrix math. In either case, I’ll ride this wagon until the wheels fall off. Thanks to those that keep it running

Your main.cpp file includes "room.h" and "mappyal.h"

room.h already includes mappyal.h

You forgot to block duplication of header info

#ifndef MAPPYAL_H
#define MAPPYAL_H

...

#endif

Now I tryed to rebuild the project to clean all files wich are duplicated. As I can see, I have to upload the hole project to make the situation more understadable. I blocked the mappyal.h file but it doesn't result. Also I tryed to include into the project the mappyal.c but it gives me the same error.

NOTE: I'm working under Windows 10 and Codeblocks IDE MinGW with Allegro 4.2.2

Thanks for your answers!

What is the error now?

One issue is that your struct definitions are not the same.

#SelectExpand

  2typedef struct {        /* Structure for data blocks */
  3long int bgoff, fgoff;      /* offsets from start of graphic blocks */

Thank you people. I solved the mistake including the mappyal.h file in room.cpp and doing the same for other libaries that were used in this way. Thanks you again.
