    Question two *.c files to one?

    I made a program, and I would like to add this other program I made to it also. But I dont want to type in the program and make it a function. Is there a faster way to to link them?

    I want this [Namemean.c] in [MazeV1.3.c].

    What's the goal of this? Are you making a menu in which one can choose which program to run? In that case you could rename the main of the program in Namemean.c to something like main_of_namemean and call this in the other program. Perhaps you'll need to restructure the function a little bit, but since main is just a function, it should work.

    You *could* just #include "Namemean.c" in the beginning of MazeV1.3.c, which is the same as pasting that code to that position.
    However this in not the right way to do this. You have to use the linker. I've had problems with linking, so I'm not the right person to ask

    If both Namemean.c and the other file have a main-function, then you'll get errors. A program can't have to main functions.
