Hi,

I want to couple SU2 with MpCCI (a coupling software) in order to make aeroelastic simulations with Nastran. MpCCI provides a C interface so I need to include some C headers in SU2_CFD.hpp and add some functions in SU2_CFD.cpp.

My problem is to compile the whole program. I already included for test reasons a c++ file and compiled it successfully (added lines for *hpp and *cpp file in Makefile.in and Makefile.am in the SU2_CFD/obj directory and used afterwards the configure file to create a new Makefile). If I do exactely the same with an external C file I get a compilation error after the object files are created. For test reasons I just tried to include a very simple C file which is located in SU2_v2.0.2/trunk/MpCCI_Adapter:

/*SU2_CFD.hpp*/
...
extern "C" {
#include "../../MpCCI_Adapter/data.h"
}

/* data.h */
#include <stdio.h>
void SayHello();

/* data.c */
#include "data.h"
void SayHello(){
printf("C header file included");
}

/* SU2_CFD.cpp */
...
SayHello();
...

I also tried to use the following command using the configure file, which didn't change anything:
--includedir=/home/tesla/work/Manuel/SU2_v2.0.2/trunk/MpCCI_Adapter

It is quite easy to find in the internet a solution for how compiling one c++ and one c file. But as I am very new to compiling it feels for me impossible to change these complex makefiles to fit my needs! I just saw that you also include an external C file (metis.h), but wasn't able to figure out what I have to change in the makefile in my case.

I would be very thankful if someone can help me with this problem!

I attached the error message and the makefiles.
