Visual C++ not building program

[James200]

The title says all. Here's what happens.

So, I am making a little console application and i click "save all" then I "build solution" but when I try and build it this happens:

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

it also tells me on the bottom of the window that the build succeeded, but it didnt...

When I open the application it does a "Hello World" then quickly closes. But that is not what I am making... I am making something more complex. I thought surely it would have something...

I saved the project, I know that. Any suggestions?

[strashko]

have you saved the cpp file ? ( it shows an asterix to the name ,so it shows it has been modified) ...
You may try to clean the solution ,and to build it again.

Choose "Rebuild solution" (CTRL + ALT + F7)

[James200]

I actually have multiple .cpp files as I am making a console RPG. I'll try rebuild.

How do you rebuild in Visual 2010?

I might need to add more code...

I've once encountered a problem with Visual Studio 2010 that involved the "Enable Minimum Rebuild" option, where code changes weren't compiled until a full rebuild was invoked. This issue only first happened when my project reached around 80 classes. Obviously, a full rebuild of that size wasn't practical. The only way that I found to resolve that particular issue was to switch back to Visual Studio 2008.

Here is the code to the program i copied and pictured (the code is not mine ,and i do not hold any rights over it- it has been put on the net):

 
// The program is from "Bjarne Stroustrup - Programming Principles and practice using C++"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
inline void keep_window_open() {char ch; cin>>ch;}
//all these lines are a substitute to "#include "std_lib_facilities.h" "

int main() {
	cout <<"Hello,World!\n";
	keep_window_open();
	return 0;
}

Here are the pictures i made during the process:

I`m using Visual Studio 2010 but with Visual C++ Express 2010 the menu should be the same.
I hope i helped you.

Well I've switched to code blocks again. And now I have a whole new set of errors that I talk about in the topic "C++ Errors"

[kbw]

strashko has gone thru the trouble of creating a project and running it with screenshots at every stage. The least you could do it try it.

[James200]

Ok I'll try it, but please look at my other topic somewhere below this one called "C++ Errors". Because a different IDE could compile it, if it weren't for those errors. Thank you, I'll try.

EDIT: I'm gonna post source code here for the errors as well. These might be contributing to the Build 0 error in Visual C++. I am getting the errors from this .cpp file:

// Cross-roads

#include "Library.h"

bool Crossroads()

{
    int choice = 0;

    while (choice != 10)

    {

        cout << "You stand at a crossroads. There are several paths going off in many directions.\n\n";
        cout << "Behind you is a small market town full of shops \nand bustling with people.\n\n";

        // Player chooses his/her location

        cout << "Which path do you choose?\n";
        cout << "1: Town.\n";
        cout << "2: Summoning Portal.\n";

        if (!dcomplete)
            cout << "3: Desert Road (QUEST)\n";

        if (dcomplete && !fcomplete)
            cout << "4: Forest Road (QUEST)\n";

        if (fcomplete && !scomplete)
            cout << "5: Swamp Road (QUEST)\n";

        if (scomplete && !gcomplete)
            cout << "6: Graveyard Road (QUEST)\n";

        if (gcomplete && !ccomplete)
            cout << "7: Castle Road (QUEST)";

        cout << "10: Exit Game.";
        cout << ">";
        cin >> choice;
	}


    return true;
}

Errors(about 10-30 of these same errors): "First defined here"({?? The '{' is causing an error??!!)
"Multiple Definition of dcomplete" (/scomplete and other global variables) The global variables are listed in Globals.h which I have put into Library.h along with all header files for this rpg.

[kbw]

You haven't declared variables dcomplete or fcomplete or scomplete.

strashko's program works

[strashko]

As i mentioned before the program is from the book of Mister Bjarne Stroustrup and i do not hold any rights over it. I think you don`t have any problems with the compiler ,maybe its the code itself.Can`t you get the global variables out of Globals.h or at least try #include "Globals.h" ...
