I feel like I am really close with this, but I keep getting a string of " error: a function-definition is not allowed here before '{' token" errors... I'm a little confused with the entire makefile business all together in that if you're writing a single-file program, do you need a seperate makefile.h to store the function prototypes in, or do they go in your program? Could that be the reason why I am getting this error?
Here's the makefile.h that I have in my header:
int cashier(); int invMenu(); int bookinfo(); int reports(); int lookUpBook(); void addBook(); void editBook(); void deleteBook(); void repListing(); void repWholesale(); void repRetail(); void repQty(); void repCost(); void repAge();
Then here is what I have for the program itself...
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include "makefile.h"
using namespace std;
int main()
{
//Starting with the S.Booksellers main menu.
int choice;
do
{
cout << "\t\t\tSerendipity Booksellers\n";
cout << "\t\t\t\tMain Menu\n";
cout << "\n\n\t\t1. Cashier Module\n";
cout << "\n\n\t\t2. Inventory Database Module\n";
cout << "\n\n\t\t3. Report Module\n";
cout << "\n\n\t\t4. Exit\n";
cout << "\n\n\n\t Enter Your Choice:";
cin >> choice;
// Validate the menu selection.
while (choice < 1 || choice > 4)
{
cout << "Please enter a number between 1 and 4: ";
cin >> choice;
}
switch(choice)
{
case 1:
cashier;

cout << "\n Thank you for visiting Serendipity Books, Bye now!\n";

default:
cout << "\n You must enter a number between 1 and 4 to continue.\n";

return 0;

I would appreciate any ideas or constructive criticisms... I feel like I'm hitting a brick wall.
thanks,
