Using gcc to compile C and C++ files together

Question

15 Years Ago

I'm trying to compile C and C++ files into a single executable using gcc. I've gotten my code to compile and run properly using borland and Visual Studio but I can't figure out how to get it to compile with gcc. This is what I've been trying:

gcc -c dtio.h dtio.c

g++ screen.h screen.cpp dtio.o testMain.cpp -o testM

The above does not work. I get a variety of errors that I don't get with any of the other compilers.

Is there some sort of flag I should be using for compiling this? I'm thinking I'm missing something here. Any ideas?

Note: I can post the source code if it is needed

The following are the compile errors I get:

One thing I see quickly is the following error,
"warning: no newline at end of file".
When you take a pc edited file to a unix envoironment or vice versa you need to understand that the characters used for end of lines are different.
Depending on your pc editor you can set the "file mode settings" to save the file in the "correct format" for unix.

Posting a relevant part of screen.h, and the first 20 or so lines of screen.cpp.

Perhaps. Most compilers allow you to compile all sorts of non-standard crud. Which doesn't help when you move to another compiler.
It's only when you enable "strict" mode on all of them that you have some reasonable chance of portability.

Which versions?

VC6 for example is now a pretty poor C++ compiler (it came out before the standard, and that was over 10 years ago).
Most modern compilers find plenty to moan about with code which "worked" for VC6.

hmm, so you think that could be causing the errors?

Thanks for the reply Salem. I tried your suggestion but I get the same type of errors. So does that mean that problem is with my code and not the way I'm compiling it?

I'm using borland C++ 5.5.1 and Visual Studio 2005 to compile my program.

I'm not sure if this is what the errors indicate, but have you properly wrapped your C declarations like so:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C"
{
#endif

int cfunc1( int n );
int cfunc2( int n );

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

Yes, I have done that

ok, I managed to remove all the major errors that I was getting with Screen.cpp by changing #include "screen.h" to #include "Screen.h" But I still get errors:

This is dead easy to fix. Just open it in the editor, goto the end of the file, press enter and save.

> dtio.c:(.text+0x7): undefined reference to `initscr'
These are all linker errors. Which in this case means you're missing a library.
From experience, you're missing the ncurses library.

Perhaps something like

gcc -c dtio.c
g++ -o testM dtio.o screen.cpp testMain.cpp -lncurses

Assuming you have it installed.

Great advice Salem! Thanks a ton to all of you that helped. It works now :)

Marking this thread as solved

monkey_king 39 Junior Poster · Answer 9 · 2009-03-05T08:00:07+00:00

you should try compiling each of the files into object code,
something like
g++ -c yourfile.cpp
This should check if your compiler is workings,
not the crosscompilation linker and all that stuff.

To salem.
you can compile headers,
these are called .pch og h.gch
stdafx on visual studio is an example of a precompiled header.

Salem 5,199 Posting Sage · Answer 10 · 2009-03-05T11:59:21+00:00

> stdafx on visual studio is an example of a precompiled header.
But YOU don't compile them do you?
You have #include "file.h"
And if you turn on the thing, then the compiler will generate for you a file.pch, and use that instead of parsing file.h each time.

But you DON'T have to edit your project to make that happen.
