Error in linking when converting Fortran to C (usi

Question

I'm trying to build a project that is mostly C but has some Fortran subroutines. The code is old and I'm trying to make it work on modern machines. My main function calls an external function

extern void __stdcall mainlhs(void);

The function is a subroutine written in Fortan

subroutine mainlhs

I want to convert the Fortran code (which contains this and other subroutines) using f2c and put the result in my project.

f2c does convert the code and the resulting C code does compile. When I try to build the project there are several linking errors.

these functions don't appear on the original Fortran code nor anywhere else. I only found references of them on netlib's source of f2c

Thanks for your help

I think you also need to link the functions in libf2c, which is avaiable from Netlib, as described at http://www.netlib.org/f2c/README .
