hard to tell without more info.
if you write "included in the main file", what exactly does this mean?
is it only the header-file you are "#include"ing?
if so, you must also compile the C file where 'set_char_to_indx' is 
implemented and then link it into the final binary (external).

the simplest way to do that is using pd-lib-builders 'common.sources' 
variable (which will statically link the given files to all externals 
built by the project).
