thats it

you dont need the tow lines above,
but its good to include the header,
like #include "vesa.h"

if you defined the prototypes in the right way, you dont get an "undefined
reference". I think you must have made a spelling mistake when
defining the prototypes.
but you must tell the linker which programs (.o files) he should linkt
together
to an .exe, otherwise the linker will give an error
I personally use Rhide to do this, it does all the work for you, just like
the
pascal-compiler.
