Including multiple .cpp file in project

I am writting a simple app and using g++ to compile.

I am using seperate .cpp and .h files for each class. I have a main.cpp and .h that includes all of the .h files for each class.

Some of the .cpp files are not found and I had to actually do a #include "Contact.cpp" to get it to compile. Is there something special I need to do to avoid having to do #include for the .cpp files? Do I have to resort to creating a makefile to get around this?

You shouldn't be #include'ing .cpp files, only .h ones.

When you compile, an example would be:

>>g++ -o myprog file1.cpp file2.cpp main.cpp

Alternatively, you can compile each source file seperately, and then link the objects together afterwards.

Thanks for the quick reply. That worked. I just had to add a few header files to some of the .h files for stdio and things like that.
