I would like to see an example package where you experience this problem. One way I have seen this solved is to have a #define, say '#define MAIN' On the header file "header.h" you would have a declaration and a definition only if MAIN is defined, e.g. extern int y; /* declaration */ #ifdef MAIN int y; /* definition */ #endif Most c files would include "header.h" and main.c would do this instead #define MAIN #include "header.h" Thanks, Ronaldo _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
