- If you are really geting a message that says something like undefined
- symbol, get rid of the compiler. A compiler should give a definite
- message. If a symbol is undefined it should say so clearly.
-
- The first step in resolving a problem is identifying it. You have not
- done so.

- I don't have BC++ 4.5, but from experience with other versions I'm
- quite confident it didn't say something like undefined symbol -- it
- said that a symbol was undefined and the message included the symbol.
-
- I have gotten error messages about undefined symbols fairly often.
- I've used several methods to correct them:
-
- 1. Include a header file that defines the symbol.
-
- 2. Write code that defines the symbol.
-
- 3. Remove references to the symbol.
