Duplicate symbol _main?

ignatius (2)
So this is a really strange error for me. I am not new to C++, but I have never taken a course. I pretty much learned everything I did from this site and a few others. The areas I am weakest at are compiler issues and debugging.

That being said, I am trying to help an associate, an elderly gentleman, with their code. I get an error as in the title when I try to compile, but I have verified every single file, and I only have a single main() function in the file sundarmain.c .

Here is the code for the main script:

And here is the program output:

ld: duplicate symbol _main in sundarmain.o and sundarmain.o
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [sundarmain.exe] Error 1


How can I have a duplicate _main in sundarmain.o, if it is first defined in sundarmain?

I do have a declaration in the header file of int main(), but I get the same error even if I take that out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. The person I am helping was one of my favourite professors (not a programming course, hehe), and I would really like to be able to help him get his code working.

This line looks suspicious
OBJECTS = $(NAME:.exe=.o) sundarmain.o subs.o sundarf2.o dnrutil.o
