Wow.
Okay, first, when fixing code, if something is an assignment, you
really ought to check what it's trying accomplish, and if it doesn't work,
figure out why, instead of just easter egging it till the error goes away.
Then, also don't rename the variables for the different structs.
charachter is an interesting mispelling of character, but it won't work
unless you've altered those structures.
I'm sure that in both cases though, parts of the error you got
read something like this:
Function GETFILEPOS undefined, assuming return 'int', blahblahblah
Function "GETPFILEPOS" not defined...blahblahblah
Function "GETPFILEPOS" redefined. Definition conflicts with previous
definition at line _x_.
This is because there's no function called 'GETPFILEPOS'. The
closest thing is actually a macro that reads 'GET_PFILEPOS'. You probably
want to take your inital piece of code, and just change it to the name of
the existing macro.
Generally speaking, except when people are deliberately trying to
confuse other coders, macros should be in all CAPS, and if you learned C
before C++, you'll realize how awful it looks to mix case in function
names, and you'll have them all in lowercase.
Hope that helps.
