Thread: Including C++ headers (and functions) to a C-file

Hi!

I have a C++ header-file and a C++ source-file which I would like to include and use in a C-file.

How can I get around this without converting my C-code to C++?

I can write

Code:

extern "C"
{
	#include <GL/gl.h>
	#include <GL/glut.h>
	#include <GL/glaux.h>
}

to include C-code into C++ files, but I need to go the other way around... Can I do this without having to compile dll-files/lib-files of my C++ code? Or without having to convert my C-file to C++?

Thanks!

Best regards,
Torbjørn

btq: I get this error when using extern "C++":

Code:

error C2059: syntax error : 'string'
