If I have a server.idl file which generates server.hh and server.cc. I add them both to a Visual C++ 6.0 project. And I get an link error unresolved external symbol for a function that is is declared in server.hh and defined in server.cc. I have never used Visual C++ 6.0 so my question is there anything else I need to do for the linker to be able to pick up server.cc file besides including it in Included Source Files folder? maybe along the lines of including a folder where the file resides to the project somewhere?
You'll have to add server.cc to your project just like in any newer version or use #include to pull it into another file that is compiled (probably bad practice). Other than that, it's hard to guess without seeing the actual source. Any specific reason you're still using Visual C++ 6.0 for this?
