The problem you are having involves name bashing in c++.
In order to keep overloaded functions straight, C++ will do stuff like
this:

void foo(int c, unsigned int h)
void foo(char *c)

foo is changed to _foo__FiUi and _foo__FPc, so It knows what foo you refer
to. If there is a C function, instead of recompiling just use this code.

#ifndef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
	void foo(char *c);
#ifndef __cplusplus
}
#endif

the extern "C" part of it tells it to look for _foo instead of _foo_FPc.

Hope this helps.
