Calling Ada from C

[costello@mbunix.mitre.org (Roger L Costello)]

Hi Folks,
    I am trying (unsuccessfully) to call an Ada program from a C program.
I am using the SUN (VADS) Ada, and SUN C.  I am running on a SUN SPARC 10.

Here's my simple C program:

extern hello()'

main ()
{
   hello();
}

My intent is for this C program to call the following hello world Ada
program:

with text_io;

package hello_pkg is

   procedure hello;

pragma EXTERNAL (C, hello);
pragma EXTERNAL_NAME (hello, "hello");

end hello_pkg;

package body hello_pkg is


procedure hello is
i : integer := 0;
begin

    text_io.put_line ("Hello World");

end hello;

end hello_pkg;

I compiled the Ada program.  It generated hello02 and hello03 in the
.objects directory.

When I tried compiling/linking the C program:

cc test.c .objects/hello03

I got the following errors:

Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
STACK_LIMIT                         ./.objects/hello03
_A_put_line.123S12.text_io          ./.objects/hello03
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out

I really haven't a clue what to do.  The SUN documenation hasn't
been of much help.  Can you assist?  Thanks in advance.  /Roger ~
