extern "C" is placed at the beining of the C wrapper (from which the Lib is built). See line 5 below:

#define DIRECTINPUT_VERSION 0x0300
#include <WINDOWS.H>
#include <CTYPE.H>
#include <DINPUT.H>
extern "C" {
int DI_InitDirectInput( HWND hWnd, HINSTANCE hInstance );
int DI_InitDirectInput( HWND hWnd, HINSTANCE hInstance ) 
  {
   ...
  }
}

Note, I get similar problem with #define DIRECTINPUT_VERSION 0x0800
