> But when I go to the compilation folder, I can see the cssreader.o file which means that it has been compiled. So I'm confused. Should I compile with some specific options or should the default ./configure and make approach work ?

The object file is first stuffed into libdom.a in the same folder. If the function is never referenced, the linker won’t link it in. And Eclipse says there are no callers to this function, so this is probably the reason.
