fortran call c: link can't found c function

[cean]

Hi,

I am trying to call c from fortran following this: Chapter 11 C-Fortran Interface (Fortran Programming Guide) (oracle.com)

Simple Data Types

but can't find c function when link.  The C function is csim_, but the linker wants _csim. What I have done wrong?

fmain.f

      integer i
      real r
      external CSim
      i = 100
      call CSim(i,r)
      end

csim.c

void csim_(int *i, float *r)
{
    *r = *i;
}

error:

The documentation contains an entire chapter on mixed language programming. Fortran 2003+ provides a portable (i.e., compiler independent) facility for using C and Fortran together.

You used the GNU convention of naming the C external symbol in lower-case, with an underscore appended: "csim_". For Intel Fortran, use "CSIM", instead.

I was wondering why it is looking for all capital letters. After also removing the underscore, I got an exe file.

Thank you very much.
