Compiling C and C++ files together

[AmbiguousName]

Hello. I am trying to add some .C files in a new cpp project. Doing so gives me the fatal error C1853 i.e. precompiled header file is from a previous version of the compiler, or the precompiled header is C++ and you are using it from C (or vice versa). Now I have read a knowledge base article on microsoft forum about it which proposed 4 diffferent resolutions. I tried all of them but could not succeed (may be I couldn't understand what was required to be done). Can someone list down the steps to included .C files in cpp project. Thanks for your input.

This world is going to explode due to international politics, SOON.

Check properties for each of these files and set the compiler option for Precompiled Headers to "not using precompiled headers".

When using C files in a C++ unit you need to put an extern C around there include like this #include "otherstuff" // you can include other c++ unit before it extern "C" { #include "Someunit" // include you c unit } #include "morestuff" // you can include other c++ units after it
