I started implementing a large program. But I ran into a massive issue. So here is very simplified code of my program. I have a separate .c file for my functions which is normal.c the main program is main.c and I have linked those two with cal.h header file.
main.c
#include <stdio.h> #include "cal.h" void main() { int num1, num2, ans; num1=5; num2=5; ans=add(num1, num2); printf("%d" ,ans); }
normal.c
#include "cal.h" int add(int num1, int num2) { return num1+num2; }
cal.h
#ifndef CAL_H_INCLUDED #define CAL_H_INCLUDED #include <errno.h> int add(int num1, int num2); #endif // CAL_H_INCLUDED
but when I compile this, it gives out the error ..\main.c|10|undefined reference to `add'|
I'm using CodeBlocks v.13.12 in Windows 8.1 Any answer for this question is much appreciated. I tried with CodeLite as well, but the same error occurs. Thank you!
