I'm just going on a longshot but...

One question: when you declare variables in your header file, which example do
you use?

extern char *something;
char *something;

If it's the first example, then I can't think of what's wrong... If you use the
second example, then each .c file is declaring the same thing over and over
again (multiple definitions).

If all else fails, compile with -g and the linker will give you human readable
line numbers for your errors. If you line doesn't even have a reference to that
file, then try checking header files under the same line number. I think this is
a COFF limitation...
