i'm having a problem with gcc can anyone help me
I have two archives
test1.c e test2.c
in test1.c i have :
int Area ;
...
include "test2.c"
...
in test2.c i have:
...
Area = Area+10
...
this led me to a error :
Area undeclared (first use this function)
why this ocorrur, i'm newbie in c.
Don't #include a .c file - create a separate header file for "test2.c" (e.g. "test2.h") and include that. See here for a simple demonstration: How to create a C project with multiple source files
We'd have to see the source to know what you're doing wrong. But it sounds like you just want "test2.c" to contain a function that receives an argument, adds ten, and returns the result. Then you call that function from "test1.c" (with "test2.h" included, of course).this led me to a error :
Area undeclared (first use this function)
You also might consider looking into the "extern" keyword.

Why are you including a source file? Source files should be added to your project, not included.
You haven't shown enough content for me to determine your actual problem. I suggest you post the smallest complete program that illustrates your problem.

Multiple Source Files C
Extern to share variables
Not to mention, you should avoid global variables.

Its a legacy code
i dont put all code becaus is too big
What's this have to do with anything? You still should never include a source file. If this is a "legacy" system my suggestion is that you first fix this problem, then maybe some of your errors might "magically" disappear. Plus you still haven't shown enough information for me to even guess as to what is wrong.Its a legacy code
That's why I suggested showing the smallest possible complete program that illustrates the problem.i dont put all code becaus is too big
By the way, what do you consider too big?
