How do you have compiled them? (in RHIDE or outside).
What have you included in your project in RHIDE?
(the source files or the object files)

RHIDE (or better gcc) knows how to compile a file by examining
the suffix of the file. So it knows already to compile a file
with the suffix .c as a C-source file and to compile a file with
the suffix .cc or .cpp as C++-source file. So you will normally
not need to overwrite the automatically detection (except you will
compile a file like foo.xyz as a C++ source).
