Can't compile if a struct is referenced. #12

Closed indigosm closed 3 years ago

I've got a .h file and it has a struct inside. If i try to compile in sublime text, it gives this error:

Error 1088: Syntax error, unexpected struct.

I believe it's because houdini supposedly doesn't even let you put a struct inside a wrangler either, and so you must put the struct in a .h to get around that. But I'm in the .h in sublime text so that defeats that trick. I tried moving it to a different .h and then included it in this .h but it still has the same compile fail. Any ways around this?

Thanks in advance! -seneca

Hi! Sounds like you are on the right track! Have you tried build in the As a Library mode?

Tools → Build With... → VEX Build — As a Library

This is crucial, because the Wrangle script (wrapped Snippet VOP) is, essentially, a VEX function body: a block of statements between function's curly braces. Building VEX with As a Snippet mode wraps everything in a function!
