如何编译带有标题的 c 文件

Question

I did read all the other posts unable to find a conclusive answer.NB I know what linker error is. Here is my file. I'm trying to compile it as gcc -o sapy test_assign1_1.c Assignment1.c and getting error

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_errorMessage", referenced from:
      _testCreateOpenClose in test_assign1_1-506ae6.o
      _testSinglePageContent in test_assign1_1-506ae6.o
      _additionalTestCases in test_assign1_1-506ae6.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I just want to know the minimum command that should I type to make this program compile. A bonus would be to know how can I set it up on VScode.

Answer 1

As the best practice goes, you need to have the corresponding .c files for each of your custom headers.

gcc -o sapy storage_mgr.c dberror.c test_helper.c

If you do not want to expose the source code of your function defined in the custom headers, you can use

gcc -c storage_mgr.c dberror.c test_helper.c

to get the object ( .o ) files and get the final executable by compiling the object files together as

gcc -o sapy storage_mgr.o dberror.o test_helper.o

Answer 2

so imagine you have a program on c called "test.c" like this one:

#include "a.h"
#include "b.h"
#include "c.h"

int main(void){
 // do something
}

Then, You will have a folder like this

|
|--test.c
|--a.c
|--a.h
|--b.c
|--b.h
|--c.h 

In order to compile this, you should just write:

gcc -o test test.c a.c b.c c.h
