I am getting this error.
LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib "LIBCMT" conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library

I have put the included file but still I get this.I am using VC6 and in Windows

…fastICA. You're not linking to it. You should be. You need to tell your IDE (which I'm guessing is some Visual Studio version) where the library is, and that you want to link to that library.
Somewhere there is a library containing the compiled code that is the actual function fastICA. You're not linking to it. You should be. You need to tell your IDE (which I'm guessing is some Visual Studio version) where the library is, and that you want to link to that library.
The header file that you #include does not contain the function. It contains just enough information so that your compiler knows the function exists and what parameters it takes and what parameter it returns. The actual function is in the library, that you're not linking to.
You should read this: https://www.daniweb.com/software-development/cpp/tutorials/466177/understanding-c-from-source-to-binaries
It's for C++ rather than C, but the actual mechanics of what a source file is and what a headr is and what compiling does and what linking does are the same. When you have read it you will understand what "unresolved symbol" means and you'll have a much, much better understanding of what you're doing.
I put all the function definitions in the same file with its prototypes but I get this error.

but if I create a new project and compile it ,it compiles fine .I want to integrate with an existing project of mine, that is where I am getting the problem.
Same problem. Unresolved external symbol means you haven't linked against the library containing that function (or, if no such library exists, you haven't written that function).
