Issues with VEXcode V5 Text

[rbt20242025]

I use “VEXcode V5 Text” to create my project. For now all my functions and implementation are in that 1 file .v5cpp

I am unable to figure out how to split it out into multiple header and source files. If I do split the functions into separate files, I am unable to compile the cpp files independently and the .v5cpp fails to compile if I make a call to a function which I have moved to a separate cpp file

Looks like this is a dead end and there is no support in VEXcode V5 Text to do what I plan to do

Am i missing something?

The “Turn()” function the compiler is complaining about is in a separate .v5cpp file in the same directory as the v5cpp file I am trying to compile

I think it is supported although it is tricky

@Deicer

We just sorted out how to do multiple files, I’d suspect any errors you get are a result of one of these two things, but do specify what errors you are actually having:
make sure your global variables are declared with extern and functions noted before called in main

(emphasis added)
If you’ve already read that thread, mention that in your explanation of your problem.

VEXcode has gone through some rebranding over the years, that topic was discussing what is now known as VEXcode Pro V5, it could handle multiple C++ files. VEXcode Pro V5 is end of life and has been replaced by the Visual Studio Code VEX extension, that can also handle multiple source files.

VEXcode V5 is the entry level programming environment that allows block, C++ and Python programming. It does not allow multiple source files. I think that is what the OP is using.

Correct - I am using the “entry level” env. Looks like my analysis is correct - I need to move to Visual Studio Code VEX extension to get what I want.
