#include error from c++ compiler due to multiple definition error #143

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

first i want to thank you for the great work. As the cpp compiler seems not happy only with header files, it complains whenever i include the "taskScheduler.h" in other header than main.cpp As far i know it need to find the implementation files for your library. otherwise it complains about multiple definitinons ... Is there any version/ branch where we can find .h and .cpp from yours. Thank you

This is how you do it:

For everyone who also has the linking problem with TaskScheduler.h:

It is important that only one file with the #define TaskScheduler.h macro is compiled! Therefore the PlatformIO example has a TaskScheduler.cpp file with just this macro.

All other files (including main.cpp) that have to use the library must use #define TaskSchedulerDeclarations.h to get linked without an error!

This has been answered in several other issues, but since Google brought me here and Jozott00's comment isn't accurate, I figured I'd add some clarification.

It is important that only one file with the #define TaskScheduler.h macro is compiled! Therefore the PlatformIO example has a TaskScheduler.cpp file with just this macro.

He means "only one file can have #include <TaskScheduler.h>"...

All other files (including main.cpp) that have to use the library must use #define TaskSchedulerDeclarations.h to get linked without an error!

...and "all other files must use #include <TaskSchedulerDeclarations.h>."
