all I did was add the -cpp flag for that particular file. The
compilation/linking worked fine before. What could be wrong?
Do I need to use the linker in a different way for C++ files?

Hi Walter,

I decided to add the following code to all .h files (this seems to be a standard
way of mixing C/C++ code)

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

// original code

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

I have managed to compile a pure C file with the -cpp switch. I had to define
some function prototypes in the .h file that were previously undefined (mostly
dealing functions that were declared as extern in other files). So I guess I
might have to do more of that for each C file I am compiling with the -cpp
switch. But I can now do use vectors in the original C code (or at least I can
compile and link).

I had always assumed that it would mixing C and C++ code would be a rather
trivial process. Well, compilation is, but definitely not the linking process.

Thanks for all the help given.

In article <al58vu$1542$1 digitaldaemon.com>, Walter says...

C++ changes the way symbols are named, which can cause undefined symbol
errors when linked with things compiled with the C compiler. Try wrapping
your C header files with extern "C" { }
