multiple definition of Character.getName()

[msulli1355]

I deleted the .H off all my #ifndef and #define lines, and now the warnings are gone. The 37 errors are still there....

I apologize. Of course you're correct that that date I posted was NOT character.h. I've corrected the posting. It is now character.h. Sometimes I don't take the time to fully examine the data I post. It's a process I'm trying to work through. Each one of us learns at different speeds. At my age it is easier to assume that someone else is wrong and I am right. This behaviour is one of several that I am desperately trying to change in myself. Know that I AM trying.

Thank you again for trying to help me reach my goals, or at least to take a step forward...

I added a new class Character to the Code::Blocks project. The IDE added new files Character.h and Character.cpp to the poject. I copy/pasted the code from character.h to Character.h. I've gone through all my files and changed all occurrences of character.h to Character.h. When I try to build, it reports that it can't find Character.h:

/home/michael/projects/codeblocks/party.h|3|fatal error: Character.h: No such file or directory|

party.h:

#ifndef PARTY
#define PARTY
#include "Character.h"


class Party
{
public:
Party(void);
~Party(void);
virtual bool Include() = 0;
void Exclude(Character character);
virtual Character* getCharacter(int i) = 0;
int getCount();
protected:
int count;
};
#endif

I looked in the Code::Blocks Project->Properties and it says that my project is stored in /home/michael/projects/codeblocks/myFantasy/myFantasy.cbp. I think that would make the CWD ~/projects/codeblocks/myFantasy, correct? There is a Character.h file in ~/projects/codeblocks/src above and to the side of my CWD. How would I alter my #include to find it? I tried ~/projects/codeblocks/src in party.h, but it didn't work. As I believe I said earlier, this is my first time using Code::Blocks. I guess I should seach Google for a crash course...
