Whet I tried to compile the next foo.cc gcc -c foo.cc ------------------------------------- foo.cc --------- double a ; void foo (void) { #include "slater.inc" << ------- here } ------------------------------------ slater.inc ----- a = 1 ; ------------------------------------------------------ I got foo.cc:3 Bad format encounter while reading precompiled file If I changed slater.inc to slater.in everything is o'k. BTW What does this error mean? May be gcc supports precompiled headers ? Or it is only going to do it? I found the string " ...-noprecomp" in cpp.exe but no mention about such thing in documnetation.
