    does this compile for anyone?

    I am getting an error message that I think is a problem with gcc, not the code itself. Thanks.

    Code:
    /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/crt1.o||In function `_start':|
    (.text+0x20)||undefined reference to `main'|
    ||=== Build finished: 1 errors, 0 warnings ===|
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    #include "list.h"
    
    void list_init(List *list, void (*destroy) (void *data))
    {
        // Initialise the list.
        list->size = 0;
        list->destroy = destroy;
        list->head  = NULL;
        list->tail = NULL;
    
        return ;
    }
    
    void list_destroy(List *list)
    {
        void *data;
    
        // remove each element.
        while (list_size(list) > 0)
        {
            if (list_rem_next(list, NULL, (void **)&data) == 0 && list->destroy != NULL)
            {
                // Cal a user-defined function to free dynamically allocated data.
                list->destroy(data);
            }
        }
    
        // No operations are allowed now, but clear the structure as a precaution.

    You attempted to build the program without the main function. If you only want to compile this source file, then do so accordingly.
