Ah, good ol' blink. I have recently run into problems with it myself.
after careful search through the documentation, I discovered in very
fine print, the necessary correction. I doubt that the problem is in
your code, but in the linkage. _stub is the name that blink wants to
give to every function that is not defined, allowing development of
code sans functions and then adding in the functions later. What you
need to do is blink the following way.
blink from lib:c.o,{other files} to {executable} lib {libraries}
the important part to include is the lib:c.o at the beginning of the
link. Heck, I had problems with lc.lib until I added the c.o part at
the beginning. After adding c.o, the files linked correctly. For a
while, blink really had me going. I followed its advice and re-compiled
all of my modules with the option -b0, which took incredibly long as my
machine only has 512K, forcing me to put quad files to disk. So, after
several hours of compiling and re-compiling, I looked again at the linking
docs in the compiler usage section of the manual (not the command section
as the docs on blink did not tell me about c.o there) and found this solution.
I hope this will be of help--Happy Compiling.....
