Adding existing C file to C++/MFC project

[Bore]

Anyone ever try to add an existing C file to an existing C++/MFC project? When I do it, I get


fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive


Ok, so I #include "stdafx.h" at the top. But then I get:


fatal error C1853: 'Debug/GTest.pch' is not a precompiled header file created with this compiler


Anyone have any ideas?

Hi! Goto to project settings-C++-precompiler header && disable it

[Santhosh Cheeran]

to cpp or c after stdafx.h I added

#ifdef _DEBUG

#define new DEBUG_NEW

#undef THIS_FILE

static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;

#endif

=-----------

to h file


#if !defined(AFX_utils_h)

#define AFX_utils_h


#if _MSC_VER >= 1000

#pragma once

#endif // _MSC_VER >= 1000


and I called my c file, .cpp. Everything works fine. If you want to use .c extension and compile, I guess you need to use Extern "c" Precompiler directive.

I encountered this problem recently. It was caused by building a pch file through stdafx.cpp and then including stdafx.h
in a c file. This is why the message mentions "not a precompiled header file created with this compiler". In my case,
I changed the .c file to a .cpp and it worked fine. If you don't want to do this, I think there is an option to use the C++
compiler on C files and that should fix things. Good Luck.

for the header file, add this:

extern "C"
{
#include "the_c_header.h"
}

and before each function add

extern "C"

so if the old C funcion was:

void myFunct(void)
{

}

change it to:

extern "C" void myFunc(void
{

}
