Compiling a header file with gcc


Okay, I have a file: "test4.c" that needs "test4.h" how do I compile both of them? When I try it, gcc says header file requested, but doesn't actually make test4.c recognize test4.h

You don't compile headers ...

Suppose they're both in the same directory,
all you need to have is an #include "test4.h"
in test4.c, and then do
gcc test4.c -o test4


Cheers,
Tink
