I wrote a program made of several files, and when I tried to compile (using
RHIDE), it returned:
Error: config.o: In function `loadconfig':
config.c(8) Error: multiple definition of `loadconfig'
o:config.c(8) Error: first defined here
Error: config.o: In function `newconfig':
config.c(24) Error: multiple definition of `newconfig'
o:config.c(24) Error: first defined here
Error: config.o(.data+0x0):config.c: multiple definition of `defaultprefs'
Error: config.o(.data+0x0):config.c: first defined here
etc...
For all functions! The I tried to compile using gcc - o file.exe *.o, and the
result was:

main.o(.data+0x0):main.c: multiple definition of `defaultprefs'
config.o(.data+0x0):config.c: first defined here
menu.o: In function `about':
menu.c:386: multiple definition of `about'
main.o(.data+0x70):main.c: first defined here
d:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe: Warning: type of symbol `_about' changed from 114 to 33 in
menu.o
menu.o(.data+0x0):menu.c: multiple definition of `defaultprefs'
config.o(.data+0x0):config.c: first defined here

What's the problem?
