i have some cpp and hpp that download from a book. However, i do not know how can make it link and work. i think it may be the problem of directory. can anyone help me.

Considering the information that you did (not) give, I would do:
g++ -Wall -o foo *.cpp

Troll?

[huang11404]

no i am a beginner.
the code is #include<Random1.h>
if i change <Random1.h> to "Random1.h", it works.
the book say this is directory problem. how can i fix it instead of change the code to "Random1.h".
thanks.

You have to tell the compiler (preprocessor actually) to add current directory to the search path for the includes.

[keskiverto]

No, but I can tell that VC 2010 has a manual.

thanks, i have find the place for the include directory and it works. however there is another problem. it is initially for the boost library. now i change it to my <Random1.h> file, so how about the boost.
