Mix different C source files into a single one

[Horacius ReX]

Hi,

I have a C program split into different source files. I am trying a
new compiler and for some reason it only accepts a single source file.
So I need to "mix" all my different C source files into a single one.

Do you know about some program able to do this kind of task ?

Thanks

I do not believe this for one minute. Try compiling to object files and then
linking by hand.

However, on the offchance that you are correct, set up a file named main.c
which consists of

#include "file1.c"
#include "file2.c"
#include "file3.c"

and invoke the compiler on it. You might have to resolve some static
namespace clashes.

That sounds /very/ unlikely. I suggest you need to read the documentation
again. For example most compilers will accept input along the lines of
cc file1.c file2.c file3.c

cat, or, if you're windows bound, copy.

Sorting out the resulting mishmash is a job normally left to the
programmer I'm afraid.

Which compiler? Which platform?

I think you should dump that 'new compiler' very quickly. If it
can't handle a #include statement, it does not come anywhere near
meeting any standard. I shudder to think what else is missing.

Sometimes the compiler is split from the preprocessor. This is permitted,
though a preprocessor should exist.

Are you using the CCS compiler for PIC microcontrollers? That does indeed
want everything compiled together. You can do this by having a main file
#include other code modules.

Note that CCS is pretty far from Standard C. You _can_ mostly program in a
subset of C, but beware the non-standard features of the compiler.
