Re: enum variables and extern

I have a file, data.c, where I define all of my global variables.

For the most part, I am having no problem with this. However, I
defined an variable of type myenum in data.c:

enum myenum
{
Mon,
Tues,
Wed
} enum_var;

Now when I try to reference enum_var in data.h, the compiler gives me
issues. I have tried multiple ways of referencing it and defining it,
but nothing is working. I guess I just don't understand something
about enum types and/or extern.

We did this last week (or was it the week before). Have a look in the
archives.

Briefly: you have to declare your enum type in your data.h file.

It worries me that you have so many global variables you have "all"
of them, and all in one place too.
