conflicting types error when compiling c program using gcc

If you don’t declare a function and it only appears after being called, it is automatically assumed to be int, so in your case, you didn’t declare

void my_print (char *);
void my_print2 (char *);

before you call it in main, so the compiler assume there are functions which their prototypes are int my_print2 (char *); and int my_print2 (char *); and you can’t have two functions with the same prototype except of the return type, so you get the error of conflicting types.

As Brian suggested, declare those two methods before main.
