while i am trying to go with the steps given in http://minixml.org/; parse accordingly the xml file there is certain error "undefined error to threads for dynamic library libxml.so.".
Please guide me so that i can successfully parse the xml file.

You need to link with the pthread library using the -pthread option.
gcc -o xml XmlParser1.c -lmxml -pthread

You need to include pthread in you code.
add this line at the beginning of your file
#include<pthread.h>

Module on C for Python on Windows Code blocks

I'm trying to create the module on C for python, but I got some troubles with it:
#define PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN
#include <Python.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main() {
FILE *fp = fopen("write.txt", "w");
fputs("Real Python!", fp);
fclose(fp);
return 1;
}
static PyObject *method_fputs(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) {
char *str, *filename = NULL;
int bytes_copied = -1;
/* Parse arguments */
if(!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "ss", &str, &filename))
return NULL;
FILE *fp = fopen(filename, "w");
bytes_copied = fputs(str, fp);
fclose(fp);
return PyLong_FromLong(bytes_copied);
}
static PyMethodDef FputsMethods[] = {
{"fputs", method_fputs, METH_VARARGS, "Python interface for fputs C library function"},
{NULL, NULL, 0, NULL}
};
static struct PyModuleDef fputsmodule = {
PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT,
"fputs",
"Python interface for the fputs C library function",
-1,
FputsMethods
};
I use this code, and I got such mistakes when I try to build it
undefined reference to `__imp__PyArg_ParseTuple_SizeT'
undefined reference to `__imp_PyLong_FromLong'
error: ld returned 1 exit status
What's wrong with it?

Code::Blocks : Functions (and functions prototype) with the pointer FILE parameter get an error

So I was doing some basic C then I'm blocked.
I wanted to count lines in a file. Function and prototype function are in .c (for the function) and in .h (for the prototype function), the problem is I get errors
Note : I use the compiler GNU GCC C++ 14 ISO
From Function.c :
#include "Functions.h"
int FileLineCount(FILE *file)
{
rewind(file);
int iCount = 0;
char string[MAX_CHARACTER_SIZE] = "";
while((fgets(string, MAX_CHARACTER_SIZE, file) != NULL))
{
iCount++;
}
return iCount;
}
From Function.h :
#ifndef __FUNCTIONS_INCLUDED__
#define __FONCTIONS_INCLUDED__
int FileLineCount(FILE *file);
#endif
From the main.c :
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#include "Functions.h"
#define MAX_CHARACTER_SIZE 256
int main()
{
FILE *WordsFile = NULL;
const char strWorldFileName[] = "RandomWords.txt";
WordsFile = fopen(strWorldFileName, "r");
if(WordsFile == NULL)
{
printf("Error ! Impossible to open the file %s\n", strWorldFileName);
printf("Verify if this .txt file is in the folder where the file main.c is in it\n");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
printf("Line count : %i\n\n", FileLineCount(WordsFile));
}
Here is the error from the compiler :
error: unknown type name 'FILE'
error: unknown type name 'FILE'
#include <stdio.h>
in your Functions.h file
and fix this to be the same 'functions' and 'fonctions'
#ifndef __FUNCTIONS_INCLUDED__
#define __FONCTIONS_INCLUDED__

Makefile in C (ubuntu) multiple definition

I am learning c and trying to build using makefile. I am stuck on the following error and don't know what to do next.
the build command is
gcc -o logfind logfind.o cmdargutils.o filesystem_utils.o file_utils.o strutils.o
If I need both file_utils.o and cmdargutils.o but if I add both I get the following error.

read documentation!
First, take a few hours to read documentation of GNU make, and read how to invoke GCC. You also need to understand more about the preprocessor, so read documentation of cpp. You want to take advantage of builtin GNU make rules (so run make -p to understand them) and variables. See also this answer. You could use remake (as remake -x) to debug your Makefile. You apparently don't understand how make and how gcc should be used, so you need to read more. Read also a C tutorial, look into some C reference, and glance when needed into the C11 standard n1570. Of course, read the documentation of every function you use (e.g. printf(3) etc..). For Linux system programming, read a book like ALP and relevant man pages from syscalls(2) and intro(3) etc...
Then read How to debug small programs. You certainly want to compile with all warnings and debug info.
a better Makefile
You might try something like:
# a better Makefile
# your C compiler
CC= gcc
# the verbose remove
RM= rm -vf
# your C compilation flags
CFLAGS= -Wall -Wextra -g
# your C source files
MY_CSOURCES= logfind.c cmdargutils.c filesystem_utils.c file_utils.c strutils.c
# the corresponding object files
MY_OBJECTS= $(patsubst %.c, %.o, $(MY_CSOURCES))
# the conventional phony targets
.PHONY: all clean
# the only program is for the default target all
all: logfind
logfind: $(MY_OBJECTS)
$(LINK.c) $< -o $#
# cleaning the mess
clean:
$(RM) logfind *.o *~
Of course, you need dependencies for object files on header files. You could compute them automatically, but it is simpler to explicit them, so add something like:
strutils.o: strutils.c strutils.h
and so on for each other object files.
BTW my HelloWorld/ directory on github is a tutorial example for using make
your multiple definition bug
You are getting multiple definition of MAX_LINE because it is defined in a header file included by several translation units, hence several translation units define it.
So either make it a preprocessor constant #define MAX_LINE 1024 in your header file_utils.h, or put there only a declaration like extern const int MAX_LINE; and define it only once in a single translation unit, as const int MAX_LINE=1024; in file_utils.c
general hints
I strongly recommend doing some iterative and incremental development: code only one or two dozen lines at once, then compile them, improve them to get no warnings, debug them with the GDB debugger and test them. At last repeat all this till satisfied. I do recommend using also a version control system (like git) even for school homework.
You might want to use valgrind to hunt memory leaks and other dynamic memory allocation bugs.
You could also use some static source analyzer like clang-analyzer or even Frama-C.
Once your program is debugged, you might add optimization flags like -O2 into your CFLAGS (in particular if you benchmark it with time(1)).
You could be interested by ntfw(3).

undefined reference.. linker command failed with exit code 1

I want to create a shell file using the c language programming. I have this scheleton given already by the professor, but wen I try to executed I have this error and I have this problem
the myshell.c file (and this file is the one that I have to modify and execute)
/* RCS information: $Id: myshell.c,v 1.2 2006/04/05 22:46:33 elm Exp $ */

extern char **getcmdstring(char *cmd);
int main(void) {

fgets(cmd,4096,stdin);
args = getcmdstring(cmd);
for(i = 0; args[i] != NULL; i++) {
printf("Argument %d: %s\n", i, args[i]);
}
}
}
and the shell.l file
/* RCS information: $Id: shell.l,v 1.1 2006/04/05 22:46:33 elm Exp $ */

char **getcmdstring(char *cmd) {

}
The missing function is included in the shell.l source. This is a source for a lexical analyzer. You need to build the shell.o object file from shell.l.
This can be done by creating the C source
flex -o shell.c shell.l
and then compiling
clang shell.c myshell.c -o myshell -ll

I was told you don't need to include a reference to a ".c" file as long as you reference its ".h" file.
This is incorrect. Every .c source file needs to be compiled to a .o object file. The object files are then linked together to form the final binary. You can let gcc do this for you by simply specifying all of your .c files on your gcc command line.
The only thing #include "buffer.h" does, is copy the contents of that .h file into the current .c file. You do this so the .c file knows about all of the types referenced, and the prototypes of the functions you'll be calling, (so it can generate the correct code for the call).
In this case, you simple need to add buffer.c to your gcc command line.
try
gcc Main.c buffer.c semaphore.o -L. -lst -o test
you might want to add a prototype for init_buffer to buffer.h:
buffer *init_buffer(int size);
