For a start, you write similar pragma Imports for your own
functions. Then you have to link against the object files.

If you are using GNAT, and you have your main Ada program in foo.adb
and your C in bar.c, you would need

  gcc -c bar.c
  gnatmake foo -largs bar.o

(to start with, it can get more complicated of course!)
