I tried to find the commands I used back in those days. I didn't find the exact ones, but here are some lines I found in a batch file from around the same time:

[code]
for %%i in (*.c) do wcc386 -i=%WATCOM%\h -fp5 -5r -bt=dos32a -wx -we -ox -dDOS -dDEVBUILD %%i
:: move all except main.obj into the object/ directory
for %%i in (*.OBJ) do if not %%i==MAIN.OBJ move /Y %%i object
wlink system dos32a file main,object\*.obj
SS main.exe d32cfg.d32
[/code]

I forgot the exact mechanism, but I vaguely remember that compilers add underscores and other tokens to distinguish functions with the same names but different argument lists. This is a C++ feature, so it should not affect C code. Perhaps the compiler is interpreting the code as C++ for some reason.

You can check if you're dealing with a C++ compiler by putting this somewhere in the code:
[code]
#ifdef __cplusplus
#error "You are compiling in C++ mode"
#endif
[/code]

To force C++ compilers to use the C naming standard, you can put these lines in your header files around the exported function prototypes.
[code]
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

// Function prototypes...

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
[/code]
It should then be possible to link the files into an executable.

I haven't tested the things I wrote here, so apologies if I made any mistakes. 20 years is a long time. n_n'[/quote]
