Very angry: "two or more data types in declaration"

[quzah]

I've got a header file, and it's accompanying .c file, both of which work fine if I use them in one program. When I compile them linked to another, I get the following:

gameutils.h:7: two or more data types in declaration of 'rnumber'

What ........es me off about this whole thing is that it works flawlessly in another program:

gcc -Wall -o successtest successtest.c gameutils.c


The identical usage generates errors when I try and use it elsewhere:

gcc -Wall -o game game.c gameutils.c

Hell, I can even do it seperately:

gcc -Wall -c -o gameutils.o gameutils.c
... no errors or warnings
gcc -Wall -c -o game game.c
... error here

Header:

#ifndef GAMEUTILS
#define GAMEUTILS

#define UNMin 1
#define UNMax 10000

extern int rnumber( int, int );
extern int success( int, int );

#endif

The only difference I can see in the two would be executables is the call to rnumber.
The first uses integers returned by atoi, and it works fine.
The second uses enum values from non-typed enums:

enum
{
    Foo = 1,
    Bar = 5,
    ....
};

Then the call:

int x = rnumber( foo, bar );

Google gives me jack. Mainly people asking for the same fix.

Also, if I cange the #defines to an enum statement:

enum { UNMin = 1, UNMax = 10000 };

I get:

two types specified in one empty declaration

What really angers me here is that in one program, I get neither of these problems. In the second, both show up.

Any ideas?

# 1 "game.c"

Unfortunately, that's greek to me.

That's just line 1 of game.c including stdio.h

search for where gameutil.h is included, and find your declarations which immediately follow it.

Ah hah! I owe you a cold one. The header before it was a list of enums. There were three headers total. One before and one after. In the header before of it, the list of enums was missing the trailing ;

Thanks a million.
