I took a look at
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/249701/why-arent-my-compile-guards-preventing-multiple-definition-inclusions
and it seems the linker doesn't like it when you define stuff in places that have multiple inclusions.

I changed
functions.h


void menu()
{

}

to
functions.h


extern void menu();

and added a file:
functions.c


#include "functions.h"
void menu()
{

}
