How to call object file from C file

Hi guys,

I have a problem with calling object file from C file.

Here I am writing simple code to explain my problem.

// finding rectangle area

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
int i,j,area;

i=rand();
jrand();

*****(call area.o to this place so that we will get "area")
printf( "%d", area);
}


I have object file called "area.o" which gives area (its function is rect_area=area(a,b) )

My doubt is how to call object file to C code from out side.

I knew that we can use "make files and exec" to solve it in Unix.
But i am using windows and using VC++ as C compiler.

This is very important to do my thesis.

So could you any one of you help me to solve this problem.

Thanks

Maybe you could post this in the C programming forum?
