I'm getting a linker error when I try to link a c++ and c object file. It is not able to resolve the symbols in the c object file.
Here's my console output:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

Here's the output of nm on the c object file:

Why are the relevant symbols prefixed with _? Is this what's causing the problem?
Also, the C file was compiled with -x c in g++(dunno if it is relevant).
Sounds like you need to make the C++ routine(s) compatible with C linkage. See: In C++ source, what is the effect of extern "C"?
