compilation problems in C

[areeba]

Hi!
I write a small function in C, but there are some errors in it..please help me in solving these errors so that i can compile the program correctly..

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
 
// Definition of a player
typedef struct PLAYER
{
    int id;
    char player_name[ 50 ];
    double ability;
    double potential;
}
 
// Function:   main()
// Purpose:    Main function for the program
 read()
{
    FILE *p_file;        // File being read in from
    PLAYER *player;        // Player stored in file
 
    // Open the file to read from
    p_file = fopen( "file.txt", "r" );
 
    // Read out the player information
    fread( &player, sizeof( PLAYER ), 1, p_file );
 
    // Print the players name to the screen
    printf( "%s\n", PLAYER.player_name );
 
} // main()

There is no main() function defined at all.

Using a good, clear thread title is important. The reasons for this are:

* We want this site to grow, many of our new members find the site using a search engine, by using a good thread title you will help us grow the site by helping us get better search engine rankings.
* Using a good title will benefit you too because other members of the forum will be less likely to skip over your thread and it allows the experts to quickly scan through the forum for questions they know the answer to.
* If the threads are well titled it allows other users to easily see if there have been any threads that could be relevant to their own current problem.
* It is in everybody's best interests to post properly titled threads as the more time the moderators have to spend on managing titles the less time they have available to give answers to the questions posed.
