Obtain Proto.h syntax error when include C++ files

I’ve included C++ files into PhAB project and abmain.cc is generated. The
C++ files are referenced in the indH,O,Sfiles. I removed all preprocessor
directives and still get the following error.

"proto.h:11 syntax error before ‘::’.

proto.h line 11 is:

void C_DisplayManager::DisplayManagerThread(void);

This error is reported for all of my class methods. If edit proto.h and
remove the error lines I can compile succfully. However, when I issue
Generate the proto.h is recreated and error condition is repeated. It
looks like and reference to a class and method header is a syntax error
“C_xxxx::method()” it always complains of ::

Is there a way to remove this error other than manually editing the
proto.h after each generate??

Thanks

You should tell PhAB not to generate proto.h, because it doesn’t work
with C++. Here’s how:

To suppress the generation of prototypes in proto.h:

  1. Press F2 or from the Project menu, choose Properties to open the
    Project Properties dialog.
  2. Click the Generate Options tab.
  3. Disable the Scan Source Files for Prototypes option.

Steve:

You mentioned
Press F2 or from the Project menu, choose Properties to open the

Project Properties dialog.

F2 maps to the Application->Startup Info/Modules There is no selection for
Properties.

I’m running PhAB and have selected my project but I do not see the
Properties reference? I’m running App Builder version 2.01

After I select project the menu selections are:
File Edit View Options Applications Window Help

Where can I obtain Project Properties in PhAB?

I’m glad you found it – I gave you the instructions for version 6.3. :frowning:
