I want to compile, and then link, even. (Imagine that.) I think my basic problem is how to learn what libraries to include on my link command line.
Here's my first attempt at building a program from scratch on my slink system: t.cc: #include <fstream.h> int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { cout << argv[1]; return 0; } Makefile: t: t.o t.o: t.cc Emacs compilation buffer: make -k g++ -c t.cc -o t.o cc t.o -o t t.o: In function `main': t.o(.text+0xd): undefined reference to `cout' t.o(.text+0x12): undefined reference to `ostream::operator<<(char const *)' make: *** [t] Error 1 This is a linker unresolved reference, right? I need to pass a command line switch to the linker to tell it the library, right? Okay, how can I relate a given header (e.g. fstream.h) with the library or libraries that house the functions published by the header? Is there a ../doc/.. area that I haven't found? Should I use ld to scan all library directories searching for functions names?
