I got the following error message while compiling, but I'm sure I have the variables declared in an external Project2.c file. Could someone give me a hint what I did wrong? Thank you
1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _num_days
1>main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _countDays referenced in function _testIt
1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _what_birthday
1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _birth_day
1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _birth_month
