Hi, I'm having a problem with an assembly file I am trying to compile
along with the rest of my program. It is a .s file, and there are no
problems with it (I have compiled it using .c just to make sure there
are no compile errors) however, I am unsure how to get it linked with my
.cpp files.

I have tried to #include it in a related .cpp file, but that didn't work
because it tried to compile it as a .cpp file, I have linked it as a .o
file, but I get an "undefined reference to myFunction(...)" error. I
have prototyped the function in a header file as extern, and I still get
the error. 

If I'm not mistaken, the proper way to write functions in external
assembly is to precede the name with an underscore, like "_myFunction:",
which I have done right. So what's my problem??

I would appreciate any information on this matter, Thanks
