Hi,

I'm still a beginner for C programming. In my assignment I've encountered this problem and I know is a linker problem but I'm not sure how to solve it. I'm trying to link 3 files which 2 .c files and 1 .h file. Below are the codes for my file:

I think you mean Ld returned 1 exit status.

Do you really mean you tried to link the 2 c files and the h file or do you mean you compiled the c files and tried to link the resulting objects?

The processor of building a program is

Compiler Exit Status 1

• Compile each individual source (.c) file producing an object file (.o or .obj)
• Link all the object files produced in stage 1 with any require libraries

NOTE 1: you neither compile or link header (.h) files, they are included into source (.c) files and the code the contain is compiled in that manner.

NOTE 2: It is very poor practice to #include source files (.c) into other source files (.c) as you have done in your driver.c listing. However if you must/do do that then you should not separately compile the source (.c) that you included.

Normally the IDE handles the build process for you so it would help us to know what tools, compiler tool-chain and/or IDE you are using.
