My project doesn't seem to set the data correctly that is in a header file.

File 1: (x1.h) contains:
extern int var1;

File 2: (x2.h) contains:
var1 = 10;

File 3: (y.c) contains"
#include "x1.h"
#include "x2.h"
int var2;

var 2 = var1 + 1;


Problem: var1 is always 0

Does x2.h need to have "int" in front of var1? (int var1 = 10;)
Is there a way around this? This is vendor code.

x1.h originally did not have the extern. I get the same results either way.
 
just using your barebones code as given, I cannot get this to compile. More complete code woulod be helpful, but only the minimum amount needed to recreate the problem, please.
