    how to solve linker error

    hi ,

    when i am trying to execute a c file,it is compiling fine with zero errors but having 4 warnings.

    when i am trying execute the option make the exe file, it results linker error:undefined symbol.

    There are 26 such type of errors.

    In the c file it is accessing about 7 user defined header files.

    Earlier i noted that for all these header files ,corresponding objects were not creating.

    so i loaded each header files compiled them resulted creation of their object files.

    but when executing the c file,still there remains linker errors.

    guide me to resolve this issue.

    Thanks and Regards

    Jaisha

    Post your compiler command line and actual linker error messages (well some of them at least).
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    hi,

    when i am trying the compile option ->Make exe file

    results the following linker errors.

    Totally there are 26 such type error.

    i have gone through some header files.

    The symbol which it results errors(like 'rr_malloc') are functions in header files.


    Linker Error: Undefined symbol '_rr_malloc' in module LMCO.C
    Linker Error: Undefined symbol '_rr_calloc' in module LMCO.C
    Linker Error: Undefined symbol '_NewArray' in module LMCO.C
    Linker Error: Undefined symbol '_DeleteArray' in module LMCO.C
    Linker Error: Undefined symbol '_new_index' in module LMCO.C
    Linker Error: Undefined symbol '_sih_lookup' in module LMCO.C
    Linker Error: Undefined symbol '_show_dot' in module LMCO.C
    Linker Error: Undefined symbol '_calc_prob_of' in module LMCO.C

    Hopefully (fingers crossed) you don't have any functions in your header files. You should have a prototype of your functions in your header files, and the functions themselves in a source file somewhere. That source file needs to be in your project.
