Re: Getting rid of duplicate symbols during linking

It looks like the program you built has a number of C++ modules. The 
function names have been mangled, which is what C++ does for 
overloading. If these functions are to be callable by their "real" names 
you should consider putting and "extern C" line in your headers where 
the functions are declared. Something like:
#ifdef  __cplusplus
  extern "C" {
#endif
