Can you explain a bit more about what you are trying to do, because the following compiles fine for me: >>> tst.h >>> ======= >>> typedef struct _tst{ >> ... >>> } tst; >> >>> tst2.h >>> ======= >>> #include "tst.h" >>> >>> int foo(tst t); >> >>> tst.c >>> ======= >>> #include <stdio.h> >>> #include "tst2.h" >>> >>> int foo(tst t){ return 1; }; >> ... when compiling with "gcc tst.c" That is with gcc 4.2.4, not that I think it should make a difference. Rob - Hide quoted text - >>> when compiling: "gcc tst.c tst2.h tst.h" I get the following errors: >> ... >>> The problem is that "tst" is redefined... but I cannot change "tst.h" >>> file... >> >> So, what about: >> >> * Removing the typedef from tst2.h -- "tst" is already typedefed in >> tst.h. >> >> * Compiling tst.c only, not the headers. >> >> With kind regards, >> -- >> Baurzhan Ismagulov >> http://www.kz-easy.com/ >> >> > > -- > View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Forward-declaration-issue-%28error%3A-previous-declaration-of-%27tst%27-was-here%29-tp20755376p20757930.html > Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > >
