Using Codeblocks on the my source found here

https://gitlab.com/jmgibson1981/mycp...les/File%20Ops

It fails with 2 errors to even compile in CodeBlocks. The first error is and followed by this

I chased my tail with this for awhile. Then for some reason I compiled manually with gcc in the terminal, same options and it compiled without a word. My function works just fine. I cannot explain the failure to build at all or why this failure is limited to CodeBlocks.

I thought I might have some cruft in the project folder, so I created a new project and imported these 2 source files. Same result. I'm at a loss. I like the IDE, it helps me find my syntax errors (which are thankfully getting fewer and fewer) but this just baffles me. Especially considering it's set to use GCC... I just don't get it.

My guess is that Codeblocks is mishandling the spaces that you have in: `file_search_func';obj/Debug/mycprogress/Source Files/File Ops/fileprocess.c

Perhaps you could put in escape characters that are recognized by both C and Codeblocks if there is such a thing.

Or if the names aren't set in stone yet you could use underlines instead of spaces.

I'm assuming you are talking about the path folders? If so then it made no change. changed them to lowercase _ separated names.

I may try to build on Windows, if only to see if that changes anything. It is an odd one.

*EDIT*

Same issue on Windows, slightly different wording. However in Visual Studio Code back on my kubuntu side it compiles and debugs clean.

Remove this line from your mylibs.h file:
Only *.h files are mean't to be included into other files.

Well played. Thank you much. Worked just perfectly. So it will automatically check for the functions in any file in the project?
