GLBasic Libraries...

[bigsofty]

Im having a lot of trouble keeping my code in separate modules (files) together with there variables.

My library code is almost always the same.

Types
Global Variables
SubRoutines

I keep getting "TYPE  is not declared", Ive tried putting the variables in a function and calling it from the main program but Im still getting this error.

I mainly get this error if I try and read (from the main program)  a globally declared variable from a library

Any ideas?

Any code? Without code it's always hard to tell. Make small programs and post them or upload them zipped. Might be a bug, might be a typo, might be some misunderstanding. I suppose it's a bug, though.

OK, Ill try and cut the code down and still show the error. As Arnold would say "I'll be Back!"

ENDFUNCTIONThe above program does nothing but illustrate how I can not modularise types, globals and functions in the one file. I need this to post some stuff on the forums or use code between programs.

LOL, I went to babelfish (As I do quite a bit) to translate this from German to English... then I realised what it said... haha... doh!

Hokay! If you use a global, make sure you tell the compiler about it before you use it. Like
GLOBAL cameraPosition AS TVector
in main game function. You declare it as GLOBAL later, so GLBasic should be clever enough to realize that. I'll dig into it for the next update. Maybe I can fix it.

[bigsofty]

Yep, I've been doing that... thanks any ways Gernot, I hope you have luck with the update.
