Hi

I've written a new function for a program.
I have the new_function.c, new_function.h and the new_function.o and I've added those 3 files in the same directory of the others files.
Then in the file.c (that use the new_function.c), I added:

then i try to do:

./configure ........... ok

but the "make" return with:
where "function_added" is defined and implemented in new_function.h and new_function.c.

This is the first time for me, but i read that what i've done should be enough.
Any idea why doesn't work?
Thanks

If you look at your makefile, is new_function.c or new_function.o mentioned anywhere? (How did you set up configure?)

Dedalus

You are right, the makefile doesn't contain "new_function.o".

I'm not the author of the program, I've written just a function. So I have to add some reference in the configure file?

Thanks

Right. I've never used configure scripts, so I don't know where it would go, but whatever or whoever builds the makefile would need to know what all the files are.

(Does the person/people who did write the program know or expect you to write an additional function? If so, they would probably have left same in the configure file.)

Dedalus

Yes, he asked me to add this function. I'd like to learn how to do it

Thanks for your help, now I know where the problem is.

IIRC, it's something like makefile.in which is read by configure to produce a customised makefile for your environment.
It's the input file(s) to configure which you need to look at changing.

Yes there is a makefile.in,
I'm reading it. it is very long file, I'm looking for the configure input files.

thanks

Hi
i found the solution.

I've added to Makefile.in and Makefile.source the file i created.

Now it works!!

Thanks
