i always get an error "circular reference in include commands" if i try to compile a script with 30 or more includes this error appears. all scrippts are working well with each other if i put them together in one large script.

i'd like to build a multiunit-maker to which i compile functions and commands according to demand.

greetings

edit:
oh, i see it's the miscellaneous-forum. it should be moved to general questions i think, but i don't know how to do.

Wow, 30 includes! I've never gone beyond 10 includes myself. Sorry, I don't have an answer for you, just commenting on my amazement at 30 includes. Smile

for every additional function or command i wanna have a separate script. when programming i just include multiunit.dsu which should check the script and only compile functions and commands that are used in the script. all others are #rem out. thats the plan. i hope i explained it understandable.

There is character limit for the #define function and #define command lines. If you have lots of defined functions, or commands, you may need to shorten the length of each command and function.

Example: Instead of #define command,FindFirstFile use #define command,FindFirst or #define command,FFF

oh, that's a bad message, 'cause sooner or later the limit will be reached. i'll have to think of another way for my multiunitmaker. nevertheless thanks dave.

ps: does this limit exist in vds6 too?

What I found is that you have to split up the #DEFINE COMMAND/FUNCTION on multiple lines. I found this when trying to define all the commands and functions that my GadgetX.dll has.

Dave,
I will try it again since it was over a year ago when I ran into that. My help file and demos was going to list out all the functions and commands for my DLL on 2 lines but then I ran into the issue and decided against #define all commands/functions in every demo. However I do believe I got it to work by putting them on different lines. Now this was with VDS 5.02 so Jules may have tightened up the code since then or maybe I was just lucky that day Razz
