You can use an
[Import]
public static my_external_function(...)

or
[Import]
public my_external_member_function(...) // this one has to have the
self* pointer as first parameter, in C

to link with a function written in C in another .h/.c
Also, you might need [NoArrayLength] if you pass arrays and the
'imported' function doesn't have, for each Vala string[] parameter an
(int length, char**) sequence of parameters.

Also, you could try writing a .vapi file i guess - I don't know
exactly how but the examples are plently.
