codeblocks ide multiple files

[cooper1200]

i have copied the multiple file program out of the book. when i come to compile/build the program i get an error saying undefined reference to "clear_line()" (a function with in the program). the function is defined in the line.h file written in the line.c file and i have included the line.h in both main file and line.c file. as per the book.

if i try and build either line.c or word.c seperatly by right clicking on them i get a pop up message box saying "that file isnt assigned to any target"

what am i doing wrong
many thanks

It looks like you failed to create a project before you added your files to the IDE.

i created a new console project via the wizard and then added extra header files and source files by going to file.... new ......file
was this wrong?

Please post (as text) your project .cbp file. This file should show the different source files that are part of the project.

When you added those source files to the project, you had to choose a target (typically either Debug, Release or both), but for some reason you didn't... Remove the files from the project and re-add them. It should prompt you on what target you want.

[jimblumberg]

Okay, it looks like all the files are there, but it looks like you failed to add the files to the project. So basically what you need to do is remove the files from the project then re-add them to the project (Project-Add Files) and be sure to click the "Select All" button and then "OK" from the Multi Selection window.
