int num_changes( void )
{
char *test;
int today;
int i;

i = 0;
test = current_date();
today = 0;

for ( i = 0; i < maxChanges; i++)
if (!str_cmp(test,changes_table[i].date))
today++;

return today;
}

that is the function from the website samson produced which I am guessing is very close to yours. possibly not.
Everything turns around in the end

Oh okay. Then you need to add the function prototype to the top of comm.c:
int           num_changes     args( ( void ) );

I just recently installed this and got numerous errors. I followed the readme and also the changes made on page 1. Here's the error.

Any suggestions or a solution on how to fix this would be appreciated.

Looks like you're defining something twice. Make sure you're not doing that.

How would I go about checking\finding the duplicates? Which files might they be located in? I don't understand how this could of happened if I followed everything correctly.

Which file? Well the error message tells you:


/tmp/changes.c:35: multiple definition of `my_strftime'
/tmp/changes.c:35: first defined here


File changes.c, line 35.

It seems strange both definitions are in the same file, perhaps you are linking the file in twice.

It is also strange you are compiling in the /tmp directory, that is usually used for temporary files.

Well it works but when players log in it doesn't show.

I was wondering, where is a good place to stick this code in:

i = num_changes();
if( i > 0 )
{
send_to_desc_color ( "&RThere have been &G%d&R change(s) to the MUD today. &WType &z'&YCHANGES&z'&W to view them.\n\r", d );
send_to_char(buf, ch);
}


This is where mine is now:

do_look( ch, "auto" );
mail_count( ch );
if( !ch->was_in_room && ch->in_room == get_room_index( ROOM_VNUM_TEMPLE ) )
ch->was_in_room = get_room_index( ROOM_VNUM_TEMPLE );
else if( ch->was_in_room == get_room_index( ROOM_VNUM_TEMPLE ) )
ch->was_in_room = get_room_index( ROOM_VNUM_TEMPLE );
else if( !ch->was_in_room )
ch->was_in_room = ch->in_room;

i = num_changes();
if( i > 0 )
{
send_to_desc_color ( "&RThere have been &G%d&R change(s) to the MUD today. &WType &z'&YCHANGES&z'&W to view them.\n\r", d );
send_to_char(buf, ch);
}

break;

}

return;
}


But it doesn't seem to compile there.

In some area's it says:

comm.c:2538: undefined reference to `num_changes'

But the area's i can put it in ( right enter press [ENTER] to get in the mud )

It doesn't show. I want it to show right after you auto look in the game. Help? xD :P

Btw i also tried right under my:


case CON_PRESS_ENTER:
i = num_changes();
if( i > 0 )
{
send_to_desc_color ( "&RThere have been &G%d&R change(s) to the MUD today. &WType &z'&YCHANGES&z'&W to view them.\n\r", d );
send_to_char(buf, ch);
}
if( chk_watch( get_trust( ch ), ch->name, d->host ) ) /* --Gorog */
SET_BIT( ch->pcdata->flags, PCFLAG_WATCH );
else
REMOVE_BIT( ch->pcdata->flags, PCFLAG_WATCH );

if( ch->position == POS_MOUNTED )
ch->position = POS_STANDING;

set_pager_color( AT_PLAIN, ch );
if( xIS_SET( ch->act, PLR_RIP ) )
send_rip_screen( ch );
if( xIS_SET( ch->act, PLR_ANSI ) )
send_to_pager( "\033[2J", ch );

but it just says:

omm.c:2332: undefined reference to `num_changes'

Here's where i defined my numchanges btw,

/*
* Global variables.
*/
int num_changes args( ( void ) );
IMMORTAL_HOST *immortal_host_start; /* Start of Immortal legal domains */
IMMORTAL_HOST *immortal_host_end; /* End of Immortal legal domains */
DESCRIPTOR_DATA *first_descriptor; /* First descriptor */
DESCRIPTOR_DATA *last_descriptor; /* Last descriptor */
DESCRIPTOR_DATA *d_next; /* Next descriptor in loop */
int num_descriptors;
bool mud_down; /* Shutdown */

Near top of Comm.c

OK, I tried that, and got this message:


o/comm.o(.text+0x49f7): In function `nanny':
/home/nick/smaugfuss/src/comm.c:2319: undefined reference to `num_changes'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


Now the important thing about this message is it is a linker error, not a compiler error. If it was a compiler error it would look like this (I omitted the prototype line to cause this message):


comm.c: In function `nanny':
comm.c:2318: warning: implicit declaration of function `num_changes'


The difference tells us what to do. Simply moving the code around won't solve the linker error. The link error means it cannot find the implementation of num_changes. The compile error means it cannot find the prototype (definition) of num_changes. There is a big difference.

This is the prototype (which you have used correctly):


int num_changes args( ( void ) );



The implementation is this part (shown earlier in this thread):


int num_changes( void )
{
char *test;

// yadda yadda

return today;
}


You need to check that:


  • You have put this code into a file somewhere
  • That file is part of the project - that is, it is being linked in.

Im sorry nick, I don't understand where to put.


int num_changes( void )
{
char *test;

// yadda yadda

return today;
}

I've tried comm.c and changes.c but it just tells me errors where today; is undefined and test is an unused variable.

In C, a line starting with // is a comment, meaning that it doesn't affect the program. When Nick put in "// yadda yadda" he was basically saying "...". The full function, as he said, is earlier in the thread; here it is:

int num_changes( void )
{
  char *test;
  int today;
  int i;

  i = 0;
  test = current_date();
  today = 0;

  for ( i = 0; i < maxChanges; i++)
    if (!str_cmp(test,changes_table[i].date))
      today++;

  return today;
}


It might help you a lot to google for a beginner's C tutorial. A lot of these problems and concepts are covered and it will help you a great deal to have an understanding of the basics; it's not that hard to get just a start and the benefit for you will be very great.
