RE: New package linking fails

Okay, I got around it by simply putting the entire header file inclusion in an extern "C"{} . Now it works!

Thanks again for your help,
Ramya

hey Martin,

I had not done that and I tried it. In main.cc I declared the function as

extern "C" int self_test(int);

I hope that is what you meant.

However,  I get the following error:

test1.h:115: error: previous declaration of ‘int self_test(int)’ with ‘C++’ linkage
/l4/pkg/test/server/src/main.cc:46: error: conflicts with new declaration with ‘C’ linkage

best,
Ramya

Did you declare the function with extern "C" linkage in main.cc? Without
that the linker won't find C-functions called from C++-files.
