Problem solved.

For anyone interested in doing the same thing here's how to compile and link
C code into a dll:

Assumptions: you have 1 source file called myfile.c
Compile the C code first using:
bcc32 -c myfile.c

If you are using JNI then you will want to include the JNI header so the
compile command will look like this:
bcc32 -I%JAVA_INCLUDE% -I%JAVA_INCLUDE%\win32 -c myfile.c
(this assumes the environment variable JAVA_INCLUDE is set to the path of
the include directory inside your java installation).

Then link the code using:
ilink32 /c /aa /Tpd c0d32.obj myfile.obj, myfile.dll, myfile.map,
import32.lib cw32mt.lib
