Help with compilation problem

[anatazi]

Hi everyone,
I get a funny message whe I compile the program below.
ld:
Object file format error in: time.h: read_cur_obj_info: bad file magic number(0x7473)

Here is the code, Please point me to any errors that I am making.
Thanks
#include<stdio.h>
#include&quot;time.h&quot;

struct TIME {
int hours;
int minutes;
int seconds;
};
typedef struct TIME Time;

Time get_time();
void printt(Time);
int pftime();

void main(void)
{
Time t;

t = get_time();
printt(t);
printf(&quot;the totoal number of seconds is %i\n&quot;, pftime(t));
}

#include &quot;time.h&quot;

int pftime(Time parm)
{
int t_n_s;
t_n_s = ((3600 * parm.hours) + (60 * parm.minutes) + parm.seconds);
return t_n_s;
}

#include&quot;time.h&quot;
#include<stdio.h>

Time get_time()
{
Time parm;

printf(&quot;Please enter hours: &quot;
scanf(&quot;%i&quot;, &parm.hours);

printf(&quot;Please enter minutes: &quot;
scanf(&quot;%i&quot;, &parm.minutes);

printf(&quot;Please enter seconds: &quot;
scanf(&quot;%i&quot;, &parm.seconds);
}

#include&quot;time.h&quot;
#include<stdio.h>

void printt(Time t)
{
printf(&quot;%i : %02i : %02i&quot;, t.hours, t.minutes, t.seconds);
}

You might have a problem with your instalation of C. That is a linker error as far as I can say, and it refers to a broken object or library.
What C compiler are you using? [red]Nosferatu[/red]

why do you have your includes strewn all over your program (between each function). The time structure is already declared within <time.h>. Are you are using a self made header file &quot;time.h&quot;. When you have an include within double quoytes the compiler looks for the header file in the same directory as your program exec.

try this..

#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main (void)
{
struct tm today;
time_t time_in_secs;

time_in_secs = time(NULL); /* for todays date */
today =*localtime(&time_in_secs);

printf(&quot;Date %02d/02d/02d\n&quot;,today.tm_mday,today.tm_mon+1,
today.tm_year-100);
printf(&quot;Time %d:%02d:%02d &quot;, today.tm_hour, today.tm_min, today.tm_sec);
return 0;
} Hoping to get certified..in C programming.

Hi again,
To Nosferatu, I am actually working in Unix, I use cc.

To Bigtamscot, The reason that I have #include in every function is that each function is in a separate file and they use printf which requires a #include<stdio.h>.
I am using #include&quot;time.h&quot; because I am using my own time.h file.

What OS are you on?

And what is your filenaming convention for the names of the files in this project? ______________________________________________________________________

This just could be the problem... try renaming your header file, as there is one system header file called time.h.
It may cause problems. [red]Nosferatu[/red]

Got it all fixed, was compiling .h file.
Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks
