Compilation error

[Iverson3]

HI,

I recently tried to compile a project, which links to another project. If I build these two projects independently, there is no problem at all. However, if I tried to build them together: namely, linking one to the other. Then I got the following compilation error:

(Here is just a sample of the error msg)
***********************************************************
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\ios.h(160) : error C2872: 'ostream' : ambiguous symbol
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\ios.h(180) : error C2872: 'streambuf' : ambiguous symbol
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\ios.h(207) : error C2872: 'streambuf' : ambiguous symbol
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\ios.h(210) : error C2872: 'streambuf' : ambiguous symbol
***********************************************************

close inspection on the error msg shows that its those Visucal C++ header files that are picked for the error. So I am just wondering what does this imply?

Thanks in advance,

Check <iostream> and <iostream.h> etc in your sources. Avoid <iostream.h> old stream library includes. Change all <*.h> deprecated library references to standard headers w/o .h...
May be it helps...
