    warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast

    Here is the code I wrote to detect whether a LAN cable is pluged or unpluged. After compilation, it gives me the warning:

    Code:
    warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast
    Here is my code:

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    #define yes 1
    #define no 0
    typedef int boolean; 
    
    int main()
    {
      FILE *fp;
      char *pch;
      char line[130];			/* line of easa!from unix command*/
      int m;
      boolean b;
       
      fp = popen("nm-tool | grep Link", "r");		/* Issue the command.		*/
    
    					/* Read a line			*/
      while ( fgets( line, sizeof line, fp))
      {
        printf("%s", line);
      }
      pclose(fp);
    
      pch = strtok (line," 	");
      for (m=0; m<2; m++)
      {
        pch = strtok (NULL, " 	");
      }
        printf ("%s\n",pch);
      b = pch;
      printf("%d\n",b);		/* more to add on */
    
      return 0;
    }

    I have googled some solutions online, like include the stdlib.h header and etc but all didn't work. Does anyone has any idea on it?

    Thanks in advance.

    Change:
    Code:
    b = pch;
    to:
    Code:
    b = pch != NULL;

    I get maybe two dozen requests for help with some sort of programming or design problem every day. Most have more sense than to send me hundreds of lines of code. If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
