Hi guys:

I got a program from a developer. My main problem is that the code is in C and I been trying to compile it, but it keeps me giving errors, well mainly warning, but some of them I am not sure what they mean and/or how to fix them. Here is what I get get from the compile. The codes that are in bold are the ones I am having problems with. I can send you the files that are related to the errors if you need them, but since they are many and maybe some of the problems are common I have not include them here. I appreciate the help,

Gus

Compilers like to puke out a lot of errors for the same line. And an error on one line can spew out a lot of errors on other succeeding lines. So in practice I generally fix the error at the top of the list then recompile to get a new list of errors.

>> warning: format '%i' expects type 'int',
Look at the format specifications and you will probably find that you need to use %ld for long int.

>>warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'malloc'
Most likely you forgot to include a header file.

Thanks I was able to correct those errors. The next one comes from the following code

#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
#include<malloc.h>
#include<stdlib.h>


int get_index(char *s1,char *s2)
{

 int  i,n,n2,pos;


 n=strlen(s1);
 n2=strlen(s2);
 pos=-1;

 for(i=n-n2;i>-1;i--) 
 {
  if(!(strncmp(&s1[i],s2,n2))) 
  {
   pos=i;
   break;
  }
	   
 }


 return pos;
}

The error is the following

get_index.c: In function ‘get_index’:
get_index.c:13: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘strlen’
get_index.c: In function ‘get_index’:
get_index.c:13: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘strlen’
get_index.c: In function ‘get_index’:
get_index.c:13: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘strlen’
get_index.c: In function ‘get_index’:
get_index.c:13: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘strlen’

Any idea how's this error happening ?

same problem as I mentioned before -- you forgot to include a header file, in this case it was string.h. You can't call functions if they have not been previously declared.

Wow and here I thought it was a problem with the declaration. My next problem is the following

max.c: In function ‘max’:
max.c:115: warning: too few arguments for format

which it comes out of this file.

Any idea ?
