Hello,
this has cost me six hours so far:

I want to add a new member function to the hCombustionThermo class. I've boiled it down to the simplest possbile problem. In hCombustionThermo.H I write:

  void hello();

It compiles fine.

In my solver (based on reactingFoam) I write:

Info<< nl << "Reading thermophysicalProperties" << endl;
autoPtr<hPsiChemistryModel> pChemistry
(
    hPsiChemistryModel::New(mesh)
);
hPsiChemistryModel& chemistry = pChemistry();
hCombustionThermo& thermo = chemistry.thermo();

thermo.hello();     // the only change

It seems that compiling works, but during the linking process an error occurs:

Can anybody explain me what I'm doing wrong?

  void hello();

You declare a function, but not define it. Try this:

void hello (){}

In general, you better not modify the existing OF classes like this.
If you need to extend some class, declare your own class inherited from the existing class, like this:

class my_hCombustionThermo : public hCombustionThermo
{
  void hello () {}
};

You have a prototype for the hello() function, but no implementation of it. That is causing the problem you posted. I think you may have boiled it down too far?

Thanks to both of you, I'll give it another try!
