Trying to compile a simple file in C - c

Question

I am writing you because I wrote the following file sources in C and I am not able to compile it with gcc... I get the error unknow type name :(
I searched on the internet but in most of cases it appears when there is a circular dependency or something like that.
So I have a source file and a header file :
vector.h :
#ifndef VECTOR_H
#define VECTOR_H
#include <stdio.h>
typedef struct dynamic_array_struct
{
uint64_t *data;
size_t capacity;
size_t size;
} vector;
int
vector_init(vector *, size_t);
int
vector_reinit(vector *);
#endif /* VECTOR_H */
and vector.c
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <vector.h>
int
vector_init(vector *v, size_t init_capacity)
{
v->data = (uint64_t *)malloc(init_capacity*sizeof(uint64_t));
v->capacity = init_capacity;
v->size = 0;
return 1;
}
int
vector_reinit(vector *v)
{
free(v->data);
v->data = (uint64_t *)malloc(v->capacity*sizeof(uint64_t));
v->size = 0;
return 1;
}
But when I try to compile it with gcc -c vector.c -I . I get the following error :
In file included from vector.c:2:0:
./vector.h:2:13: error: unknown type name ‘vector’
vector_init(vector *, size_t);
^
./vector.h:5:15: error: unknown type name ‘vector’
vector_reinit(vector *);
^
vector.c:6:13: error: unknown type name ‘vector’
vector_init(vector *v, size_t init_capacity)
^
vector.c:14:15: error: unknown type name ‘vector’
vector_reinit(vector *v)
Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong ?
Thanks for helping me :)

Answer 1

You should include vector.h like this:
#include "vector.h"
not like this:
#include <vector.h>
