Adding a Class with ACLiC

ROOT

Hello,
If I try to add a class with ACLiC (ClassDef, ClassImp) but contrary to the example given
in the User Guide with class definition in a separate file the thing can’t compile.
What’s the problem?

Hi,

Aclic generates dictionaries for the types defined in the file you compile - not in included files. In your source file, add

#ifdef MAKECINT
#pragma link C++ class MyClassInHeader+;
#endif

O, and please state error messages next time, that’s what they are for.

Axel.

Hi thanks,
I thought this was strange because if I make the same thing without
ClassDeff and ClassImp there are no problems compiling with .h defintion.

Hi,
ClassDef needs the dictionary to be generated.
