quicksort.h

#ifndef _header
#define _header

typedef char byte ; 


extern void quicksort(byte data[], int n , int elementsize , int (*p_cmp_f)() ) ;










#endif

built a quicksort.o file with the quicksort.c

and then compiled it like this gcc -ansi -Wall -o quicksort main.c quicksort.o

errors i get:

Get rid of

#include "quicksort.c"

[gerard4143]

Line 5 in main, don't #include "quicksort.c". You should only include header files.
