What should be a simple linking problem

I'm having a problem with an undefined symbol during linking which has me perplexed.

My application uses an external C-language library (built as a static library with a .a extension [ libSCCE.a ]). The library calls an external function SCCE_TempLexName(char*) which it expects the host application to provide.

My (host) application implements this function as follows:

in SSCE_TempLexName.h :
#if defined(__cplusplus)
extern "C" {
#endif

void SSCE_TempLexName ( 
char * outPath );

#if defined(__cplusplus)
}
#endif


in SSCE_TempLexName.cpp:
void
SSCE_TempLexName ( 
char * outPath )
{
... C++ body - the content doesn't matter here
}

The implementation is explicitly (and needs to be) a C++ function because it uses C++ class objects in its implementation.

MY PROBLEM:
The linker has an undefined symbol error:
  "SSCE_TempLexName(char*)", referenced from:
      getTempFileName()     in libSCCE.a(DFTLEX.o)
      saveLexFile(DFTLEX*)     in libSCCE.a(DFTLEX.o)


This worked in my CodeWarrior projects, but it obviously doesn't here. Can someone point out what I am doing wrong??


Cheers,
