    Problem compiling a program

    Hi everyone.

    I was recently doing some stuff and needed a program to complete it. Homever, I need to compile the program by myself. I tried, but looks like it failed to import the libraries. I'm using MinGW's compiler and Visual Studio Code. Here's a piece of info from the log:

    Code:
    [Running] cd "k:\_Dos Navigator with runtimes\brandy-master\brandy-master" && gcc brandy.c -o brandy && "k:\_Dos Navigator with runtimes\brandy-master\brandy-master"brandy
    c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/8.2.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:\Users\Note\AppData\Local\Temp\ccdSpifQ.o:brandy.c:(.text+0x5e6): undefined reference to `maketables'
    c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/8.2.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:\Users\Note\AppData\Local\Temp\ccdSpifQ.o:brandy.c:(.text+0x605): undefined reference to `enigma'
    c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/8.2.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:\Users\Note\AppData\Local\Temp\ccdSpifQ.o:brandy.c:(.text+0xbcb): undefined reference to `maketables'
    c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/8.2.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:\Users\Note\AppData\Local\Temp\ccdSpifQ.o:brandy.c:(.text+0xc0e): undefined reference to `enigma'
    c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/8.2.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:\Users\Note\AppData\Local\Temp\ccdSpifQ.o:brandy.c:(.text+0x1242): undefined reference to `maketables'
    c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/8.2.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: C:\Users\Note\AppData\Local\Temp\ccdSpifQ.o:brandy.c:(.text+0x1294): undefined reference to `enigma'
    collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
    
    [Done] exited with code=1 in 1.223 seconds
    I'm a complete noob in any variant of C. Please help me!

    So what do the symbols 'maketables' and 'enigma' mean to you?

    > gcc brandy.c -o brandy
    You're assuming the entire program resides in a single file brandy.c

    Something like might work - list the names of ALL your source files.
    gcc brandy.c maketables.c enigma.c -o brandy
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
