^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Your program compile fine, it include your header file without problem, 
but failed on linking.

As putOhmyOther is defined in common/bla_other.c, which is not compiled 
in your project.

If you are linking with 3rd party C lib, not only do you need to include 
the header file, you also need to link with its lib.
