how can i use CLIPS source code in my C++ project?

Question

first,i changed the source code's extension to .cpp. And add them all into my C++ project.

the source files.jpg

second.im my main func,i code this:

namespace ClipsEmbed{
int main(){
Environment *theEnv;
theEnv = CreateEnvironment();
cout << Load(theEnv, "auto.clp");
Reset(theEnv);
Run(theEnv,-1L);
return 0;
}
}

after shooting some link and compile erro,it runs ok,but it just a CLIPS IDE,not my program. just like this: the result .jpg

i guess there is another main function,but i did not know where,so please help.how can i use the source code not the DLL in c++ project.

Your explanation is very confused and omitting details, but I think what you need is (at the simplest level):

namespace ClipsEmbed{
int main(){
Environment *theEnv;
theEnv = CreateEnvironment();
cout << Load(theEnv, "auto.clp");
Reset(theEnv);
Run(theEnv,-1L);
return 0;
}
}

int main () { return ClipsEmbed::main(); }

The main() is inside the ClipsEmbed namespace, so to satisfy the linker you need a plain main() in the global namespace, so the simplest solution is as illustrated, calling the namespace's main() from the global main() .

Following feedback:

extern "C" int main () { return ClipsEmbed::main(); }

Might help?
