Thread: Stupid Linking question

Code:

// Class header
#ifndef BLAH
#define BLAH

class blah {
  ...
};

#endif

Code:

// Class implementation
#include "blah.h"

...

Code:

// main.cpp
#include "blah.h"

int main()
{
  blah b;
  ...
}

To compile and link, do this (IIRC):

Code:

C:\bcc32 blah.cpp main.cpp

>Do I need to do anything with the header file?
No, the header file is only used so that multiple source files can see the declarations. The linking stage makes no use of it.

>Do I then just type in main to run the program or do I need to do something else?
For the life of me I can't remember what Borland saves the executable as. Check the directory and see what the .exe file is named, then just run that program.

bcc32 pgm.cpp subs.cpp

will create pgm.exe

It's the name of the first source file on the line.
