some problems with #include

ok i got a structure i need to follow...

i've got a file named say : file1.c which got the implementation of 4 functions in it... and also #includes myheader.h

then i've got a file named: myheader.h which contains 10 more functions headers and also got the 4 function headers for the files in file1.c

i now have another file myheader.c which implements the 10 extra function in myheader.h but also makes use of the functions found in file1.c

I will now have a file test.c which will be my main program i'll test from...

I understand the explanation is a bit messy but I can't make it more clear. Please can any1 tell me how should i compile on gcc? and if there are any more includes i should do?

Thanks

Provided you used #include <myheader.h>:

gcc -I/path/to/myheader.h myheader.c file1.c test.c

If you used a string instead, then gcc looks in the executable's destination folder for the header files, and should compile and link fine.

sorry but this is first time i'm messing like this with header files

so are you saying i should only do 'gcc test.c'?

cos if thats it i'm getting this:

In file included from test.c:4:
myheader.h:45: error: two or more data types in declaration of `function1'

That's nothing to do with include files, that's just what you've written inside them.

Maybe a missing ; on a previous struct?

that's not what I said at all. You have to compile all source files that are relevant to the project of course.

And so far it doesn't seem like an "include" problem. It looks like your h file doesn't compile correctly (a syntax error?), can you post it here?

its part of an assignment so i guess no... i'll try and check out for the bugs u told me first, i'll post here later....

thanks for now

sorted this out... yeah salem u were right hehe had forgotten the ';'. And i wasn't compiling all my files at one go...

kinda new to header files, was a Pascal geek for over 8 years lol... anyway thx guys :)
