Thanks Olivier and all,
The static was the culprit.

first remove the 'static' keyword before function hello(), static
functions are only called from the file itself, they are not to be
called from other files.

now create a header file hello.h that contains:

void hello( GtkWidget *widget, gpointer  data );

and include that in main.c like #include "hello.h"

now you can compile each .c file, and then link the resulting .o files
to a binary.
