Thread: FAQ example wont work!

ok...i go to: "FAQ > How do I... (Level 2) > Multiple source files for one program (C++ example)"

im using dev-c++, can compile other single .cpp files perfectly fine. But...I cant get this program to run. It says:

program2.cpp: undefined reference to `myFunc(int &)'
program2.cpp: undefined reference to `MyClass::setData(int)'
program2.cpp: undefined reference to `MyClass::getData(void)'

in the linker output when i try to compile program2. I copy pasted the code.

Ive never worked on header files before (hence why im trying this program) so maybe im just doing something wrong there.

What the hell am i doing wrong?

yeah exactly, all of them. You compile .h files eh? (i SAID i was a noob with headers)

cause when i try to compile any .h file the linker output conplains about:

gcc: Compilation of header file requested
gcc: file path prefix `C:\DEV-C_~1\Bin\' never used

so i dunno...are you supposed to compile .h files? if so, why does this error occur?
Thx

No you do not compile header files

why must the files be in a project? I know it wont work if they're not, but is there a reasoning behind this?

Thx for all the help...it works now
