nvm solved

Hey there, running my everyday compiler that comes standard from fedora1 and got a special kind of error.
usually they're nice to me and give me an idea with a line number but this is all I got this time...

/tmp/ccaIf30Q.o(.text+0x22a): In function `find_word(char*, char (*) [20])':
: undefined reference to `test_word(char*, char (*) [20], int, int, int, int)'

/tmp/ccaIf30Q.o(.text+0x793): more undefined references to `test_word(char*, char (*) [20], int, int, int, int)' follow
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


the code will compile, and from the output i would guess it's a problem with the linker because it refers to a temporary *.o file
any ideas? source code is available.

Maybe you should ask in the Operating Systems forum.

crap! that looks bad

try swapping all the 20's and 30's around

 

[Foxman2000]

swapping all of the 20's and 30's?
there's only 20's...

 

[Foxman2000]

any suggestions?

 

[FoBoT]

try this website - there are smart linux dudes there, tell them FoBoT sent you

Except it isn't an OS question.

Why don't you post source code?

Apparently the symbol test_word isn't being resolved.

OK then, the Programming forum.

It certainly doesn't belong in Off Topic.

It's a problem because the function test_word isn't in the file before you link all the objects together to form the program.

I eventually figured out the problem, was a simple and stupid declarator in the function prototype that was wrong, ty all though
and btw, i posted here bc at least 10 people read here a minute, but others are really slow to update, and considering volume and intelligence here, i might get a hit, like i did
