Except that this is a library file used in many projects. If the file's
extension is .c then the code won't link in projects that are using C++.
Some of my projects need the code in this file for C++-based projects,
some others for C-based projects.
In fact, the best solution for a library of files of C routines is to
simply "extern C" them in the code and leave the file extension at
".cp". That allows both C and C++ code to be compiled in the same file,
but also allows other files that contain only C code to link to the C
routines in the .cp file.
Thanks,
Mike

There are two good solutions here:
- By far, the best thing to do is change the file extension on the file
to .c. This is the cleanest way to deal with this.
- If for some reason you can't change the file extension on the file
itself, bring up the inspector for the file reference and change the
filetype. This is better than adding "-x c" since the debugger will also
honor the filetype set in the inspector.

I have a Carbon project in XCode 2.4.1. I have a .cp library file but
for this project I want just that one file to compile as a C, not a
C++ file. Is there a way to force XCode to use the C compiler on just
that one file instead of using the C++ compiler?
Thanks,
Mike
