Hi there,

Can anybody explain this oddity?

When I try to compile the following program:

#include    <stdio.h>
#include    <dirent.h>


void syntax(char *program) {

    fprintf(stderr, "Syntax: %s [<directory>]\n", program);
}


int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

DIR     *dp;
dirent  *de;

    if (argc > 2) {
        syntax(argv[0]);
        exit(0);
    }
    if (argc == 1)
        dp = opendir(".");
    else
        dp = opendir(argv[1]);
    while ((de = readdir(dp)) != NULL) {
        printf("%s\n", de->d_name);
    }
    closedir(dp);
    return 0;
}

with the following command, I get the errors:

imm@nethotel:/home/imm/c => cc -o newexpire newexpire.c
newexpire.c: In function `main':
newexpire.c:14: `dirent' undeclared (first use this function)
newexpire.c:14: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
newexpire.c:14: for each function it appears in.)
newexpire.c:14: `de' undeclared (first use this function)
imm@nethotel:/home/imm/c =>

However, if I use g++ instead of cc, it compiles and executes
without any errors.

If it matters, I have made a symbolic link /usr/include to
point to /usr/include.UVM which contains the header-files.
But even when I remove the symbolic link and rename
/usr/include.UVM to /usr/include, the behavior of the
two compilers is the same.

Any explanation will be deeply appreciated!

Best regards
