I am getting to know C and I have encountered an issue I am not sure how to solve. I have tried to look at other questions on here, but I do not think that my issue is the same, as I do have an int main()-class.
I have three files with several doubles separated by new line. They each look something like this:
...doubles
7540.39
-7741.01
-6349.83
-7670.89
1357.22
-9087.59
-2514.53
1896.5
5708.62
8541.45
7948.56
-8000.89
4115.98
6805.74
9513.29
-3964.84
-7187.46
945.873
-2032.98
-4842.12
-174.058
-2470.14
-1055.73
-8893.61
2755.39
...more doubles
The code I am trying to run is only going to take in the three files and sum over them:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
// File variable (saved as fp)
FILE * fp;
// Character variable (saved as line)
char * line = NULL;
size_t len = 0;
ssize_t read;
// path to files
char filename[40] = "../input/file";
// The # of the file (file0, file1, file2)
int rank;
// Check that we get correct # for file
if (argc <=1 ) {
printf("Missing argument, an integer in the range 0 to 2.\n");
} else {
// atoi() converts numeric strings into an integer value
rank = atoi(argv[1]);
/* Format filename as "../input/file" + rank */
// Create space for rank and
char numchar[2];
// Write rank into char array
sprintf(numchar,"%d",rank);
// Appending rank to "filename"
strcat(filename, numchar);
// Open file in read mode
fp = fopen(filename, "r");
// Check for error when opening file
if (fp == NULL) {
printf("Could not open file \"%s\".\n",filename);
// printf("Could not open file: ", filename);
} else {
printf("Will sum numbers from file \"%s\".\n",filename);
// printf("Summing numbers from file: ", filename);
double sum=0;
while ((read = getline(&line, &len, fp)) != -1) {
if (read > 0) sum += atof(line);
}
printf("Sum is %f.\n",sum);
fclose(fp);
if (line) free(line);
}
}
return 0;
}
I have checked that the path is correct, and I have compiled the code using the command gcc mySum.c -o mySum and g++ mySum.c -o mySum2, both works for compiling and creating an executable program, I am not sure why.
When I try to run with the comman gcc mySum or gcc mySum -o mySumOutput, I get the following error
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/../../../../lib64/crt1.o: In function `_start':
(.text+0x24): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
And when I try to run g++ mySum or g++ mySum -o mySumOutput, I get this error:

I have been trying to run the program but I am at a loss as to how manage it. All help is appreciated!
>Solution :
When you compile and link the result is ready to run executable file.
You just need to run it.
./mySum
or
./mySum2 mySumOutput
