    modular programming

    hello i'm writing this code to teach myself programming with modules, but obviously theres something wrong since my compiler says

    Compiling BPS.C:
    Linking bps.exe:
    Linker Warning: No module definition file specified: using defaults
    Linker Error: Undefined symbol _output in module BPS.C
    Linker Error: Undefined symbol _input in module BPS.C

    Code:
    //inout.c
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include"inout.h"
    
    static void stars (void);		//prints out a line of *, local function prototype defined here
    
    
    int input(void){                                     //prototype in header		
    
        char c;
        int res,keuze;
    
        stars ();
        printf("   1. BPM 2 FPS\n   2. FPS 2 BPM\n\nkeuze: ");
        stars ();
    
        while((res=scanf("%d%c",&keuze,&c))!=2 || c!='\n' || keuze<1 || keuze>2){
            scanf("%*[^\n]%*c");
            printf("tik 1 of 2");
    	}
    
    return keuze;
    }
    
    void output(int keuze){
        printf("uw keuze is %d",keuze);
    }
    
    static void stars(void){
    
        int i;
    
        for(i=0; i<30; i++){
            putchar('*');
        }
    
    }
    Code:
    //inout.h
    
    int input(void);
    void output(int keuze);
    Code:
    //bps.c
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include"inout.h"
    
    int main (void){
    
    	int keuze;
    
    	keuze=input();
    	output(keuze);
    
    
    
    return 0;
    }
    all files are stored in same directory, so why isnt this working?

    gcc compiled it. You are compiling bps.c or bpm.c? I compiled like this:
    gcc -c inout.c
    gcc -c bpm.c
    gcc -s inout.o bpm.o -o bpm

    You can see here that for some reason inout.c is not compilinging becouse it should write
    Compiling inout.c:
    Compiling BPS.C:
    Linking bps.exe:
    So you probably need to ad to project the inout.c module. Sorry but I never used borland copiler
