Undefined reference error in a C program

I wrote a C program pgm.c. It contains a function readfile.so. Also I wrote a header file do.h. Then I wrote this readfile function in a separate program ini.c and included do.h to this program too. When I compiled pgm.c I got the error "pgm.c:(.text+0x2e): undefined reference to readfile"

My codes are :

do.h
    extern int readfile( FILE *in );

pgm.c
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include"do.h"
    int main(int argc,char **argv)
    {
     FILE *in;
     in=fopen(argv[1],"r");
     readfile(in);
    }

ini.c
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <limits.h>
    #include <math.h>
    #include <float.h> 
    #include"do.h"
    int c;
    int readfile( FILE *in )
    {
    while( c == '#' || c == '\n' )  
    {
      if( c == '#' ) 
       {
        while( ( c = getc(in) ) != '\n' );
       }
      if( c == '\n' ) 
       c = getc( in ); 
     }
      if( c == EOF )
      break;
      else
      {
      printf("hai");
      }
    }
    return 1;
    }

Is there any error in my programs? compiling by gcc pgm.c

Also you need to check the return value of fopen.

If it returns NULL then your function readfile (depending on capitalization) will crash

C is case sensitive;

extern int readfile( FILE *in );

doesn't declare the same function as;

int readFile( FILE *in )

Pick a casing and use it everywhere for the same function.
