Modular programming: undefined reference. Help pls!

Hello,

I'm writing a modular program. However, the compiler complains that it can't find the function create_list, but this function is declared in Bibliography.h

The precise error is:
kevin@kevin-N55SF:~/Desktop/Project$ gcc -Wall -ansi -pedantic -O0 -g -o Application Main.c/tmp/ccpYEJYU.o: In function `main':
/home/kevin/Desktop/Project/Main.c:21: undefined reference to `create_list'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

My Main.c:

Code:

---

/* AUTH: Kevin Strijbos
  DATE: 26/02/2012
 
  THIS IS THE MAIN FILE OF THE PROGRAM. */
 
  #include "Bibliography.h"


int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
        FILE *fpntr;
        REFERENCE *list; /* Head pointer for the linked list. */
       
        list = NULL;
       
        if ((fpntr = fopen(*(argv+1), "r")) == NULL) /* Open file. */
        {
                printf("Can't open file.\n");
                return 1;
        }
       
        create_list(&list, fpntr); /* Create the linked list. */
       
        return 0;
}

---

My bibliography.h:

Code:

---

/* AUTH: Kevin Strijbos
        DATE: 26/02/2012
       
        Contains the global declaration of BUFSIZE and function headers which work with the bibliography.
       
        VER 1.0 */


        #ifndef _BIBLIOGRAPHY_H_
        #define _BIBLIOGRAPHY_H_


        #include "Files.h"
        #include "List.h"
       
        #define BUFSIZE 512 /* Global declaration of bufsize, it has to be big since we don't know how long a reference is. */
       
        void create_list (REFERENCE* *list, FILE *fpntr); /* Creates a linkd list of all references in the reference list. */
       
        #endif

---

Anyone got an idea?

Thanks in advance!

Where is the function implemented?

Jim

In bibliography.c

Code:

Code:

---

/* AUTH: Kevin Strijbos
        DATE: 26/02/2012
        DESC: contains functions to work with the reference list. */
       
        #include "Bibliography.h"
       
        /* Creates a linked list of the references.
        * @param list The list to be modified.
        * @param fpntr Pointer to the file from which the references have to be added. */
        void create_list (REFERENCE* *list, FILE *fpntr)
        {
                char buf[BUFSIZE];
                int eof;
                ARTICLE article; /* Storage struct. */
                BOOK book; /* Storage struct. */
                REFERENCE element; /* Element which is added to the list. */
               
                while ((eof = read_reference(buf, fpntr)) != 1) /* Read_reference returns 1 if EOF is reached. */
                {
                        if (decide_ref(buf) == 1) /* Decide_ref returns 1 if the reference is from an article type. */
                        {
                                article = fill_article(buf); /* Fill the article structure. */
                                fill_refART(&element, &article, buf); /* Fill the REFERENCE structure. */
                                add_element(list, &element); /* Add the element to the list. */
                        }
                        else /* Decide_ref returns 0 if the reference is from an article type. */
                        {
                                book = fill_book(buf); /* Fill the book structure. */
                                fill_refBOOK(&element, &book, buf); /* Fill the REFERENCE structure. */
                                add_element(list, &element); /* Add the element to the list. */
                        }
                }
        }

And where is bibliography.c contained in your compile line? You may want to study this link on how to compile multiple files: An introduction to GCC.

Jim

Also, watch the capitalisation of your include filenames. You refer to it as both Bibliography.h and bibliography.h in your post and while it may not affect things on some platforms, it certainly does on others. Even Cygwin / MinGW's gcc can be case-sensitive.

Just before my main.

References.h->References.c->List.h->List.c->Files.h->Files.c->Bibliography.h->Bibliography.c->Main

And yes, I watch the capitalisation of my filenames, don't worry :D

BTW, I compiled, linked and runned it with Visual Studio 2010, so I don't have to worry about linking. The code works fine, no problem with the files.
So my guess is that I didn't link the files correctly in gcc?

Please show your complete compile line, and the exact error messages.
