problem with multiple files

Unregistered · 03-02-2002

i have 3 files (will be more when i finnish)

the hedder file that has the #include<stdio.h> etc, the prottyping for all the functions, and structures

then i have the c file with the main in it, which calls a function in the other file, has a include statment to the hedder.

and the other file whihc has a include to the hedder, and the definition of the functions.

however when i compile/link it i get the errors

Linking...
main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _DisplyAllVideos
main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _AddNewVideo
Debug/vslib.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

any ideas??

main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _DisplyAllVideos
main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _AddNewVideo

These errors mean the compiler doesnt recognize those functions, doesnt even know that they are functions.

Check you have included the functions header in both .c files.

myfuncs.h : contains your function prototypes.
It dosent need to include any other files.

myfuncs.c : contains your coded functions, this needs to include "myfuncs.h" and any other header needed for standard functions.

main.c : Contains your main function. This needs to include "myfuncs.h" and any other header needed for standard functions, you don't need to include myfuncs.c in main.c.

If this is how you have done it, then I don't know.

Have you installed your compiler correctly??

If you won´t post any sourcecode or give us some details about your system, you will never get any answer.
