Unable to compile C lib of FatFS with C++ Project

I am trying to incorporate fatfs into a cpp project and I havent been able to compile the project even though I added the



#ifdef __cplusplus

extern "C"

{

#endif



in the header file. I may have missed something. Has anyone been able to do this?



Here is the section where I added the extern



#ifdef __cplusplus

extern "C"

{

#endif



/*-----------------------------------------------------*/

/* FatFs module application interface */



extern FRESULT f_mount (BYTE, FATFS*); /* Mount/Unmount a logical drive */

extern FRESULT f_open (FIL*, const char*, BYTE); /* Open or create a file */

extern FRESULT f_read (FIL*, void*, WORD, WORD*); /* Read data from a file */

extern FRESULT f_write (FIL*, const void*, WORD, WORD*); /* Write data to a file */

extern FRESULT f_lseek (FIL*, DWORD); /* Move file pointer of a file object */

extern FRESULT f_close (FIL*); /* Close an open file object */

extern FRESULT f_opendir (DIR*, const char*); /* Open an existing directory */

extern FRESULT f_readdir (DIR*, FILINFO*); /* Read a directory item */

extern FRESULT f_stat (const char*, FILINFO*); /* Get file status */

extern FRESULT f_getfree (const char*, DWORD*, FATFS**); /* Get number of free clusters on the drive */

extern FRESULT f_sync (FIL*); /* Flush cached data of a writing file */

extern FRESULT f_unlink (const char*); /* Delete an existing file or directory */

extern FRESULT f_mkdir (const char*); /* Create a new directory */

extern FRESULT f_chmod (const char*, BYTE, BYTE); /* Change file/dir attriburte */

extern FRESULT f_rename (const char*, const char*); /* Rename/Move a file or directory */

extern FRESULT f_mkfs (BYTE, BYTE, BYTE); /* Create a file system on the drive */





/* User defined function to give a current time to fatfs module */



extern DWORD get_fattime (void); /* 31-25: Year(0-127 org.1980), 24-21: Month(1-12), 20-16: Day(1-31) */

/* 15-11: Hour(0-23), 10-5: Minute(0-59), 4-0: Second(0-29 *2) */



#ifdef __cplusplus

}

#endif
