    Depends on what you're doing. If you're in an IDE (Dev-cpp, codeblocks, VS) putting everything into one single project will do the right thing automagically.

    all i've dealt with so far is writing code and compiling it, on dev-c++ and then importing it to linux to compile again, don't know how to make a project.

    You fix it by properly compiling:

    So again, have you created a project with Dev-C++ and added all the cpp files to it? You can compile single-file programs without a project but you need one if you have more files.
    Edit: If you're compiling on the command line, you need to specify all the .cpp files.
