How to declare global variable in C?
/* a.h */
extern int globali; /* Declaration for compilation */
/* Visible here */
Later make sure you define in (exactly) one of the compilation units.
/* something.c */
int globali = 42; /* Definition for linking */
Use extern before using that variable in the install.c. After that compile the both the files at same time.
extern cl_platform_id platformID;
Add one line
extern cl_platform_id platformID;
before referring to platformID
in install.c.
