Re: including files

Yes,
I have included the *.c files under "source files".

But if the "*.c" program has main function,
program isn't compiled.
(I want to use some functions of the included file, which is not the "main" function, can I just declare the functions I want to use only at the header).

Thanks :)



Eitan:

Declare function in the header:

void f(); // declaration, no definition

Define function in one .c file only:

void f()
{
printf("Hello world\n");
}

Include the header file in the .c file that defines f(), and in every .c file that wants to use it. That way you can be sure that the prototype matches the actual function definition.

What problem are you having?
