I am trying to build a project containing two .c files and a header file in the Virtual-C integrated IDE and compiler.

No matter what I try, where I save the files or what I change, I always get the following error message:

linker: can't find the symbol _testReturn as requested in _main

My build options are shown below, which seem to indicate that Virtual-C is linking test.c and hence the definition of testReturn should be visible to the linker. What am I missing?

Build Options

test.h:

#ifndef TEST_H
#define TEST_H

int testReturn(int a);

#endif

test.c:

#include <test.h>

int testReturn(int a) {
     return a;
}

main.c:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <test.h>

int main(void) {
     int a = testReturn(2);
     printf("%d", a);
     return 0;
}
