Extremely basic question( undefined ref )

[adam2016]

So I thought I could solve this pretty trivial problem myself but to the contrary.

I have a Stack header and a Stack source file containing the definitions

but I'm getting an undefined reference to both the Stacks constructor and destructor, I'm not sure why because I have defined both the constructor and destructor in the cpp file and also declared them in the header.

Stack.cpp

#include "Stack.h"

template<class T>
Stack<T>::Stack()
{
   CAPACITY = 1000;
   object = new T[CAPACITY];
   s = -1;
}

template<class T>
Stack<T>::Stack(int cap)
{
   CAPACITY = cap;
   object = new T[CAPACITY];
   s = -1;

}

template<class T>
bool Stack<T>::isEmpty()
{
   return (s < 0);
}

template<class T>
T& Stack<T>::top()
{
   return object[s];
}

template<class T>
T Stack<T>::pop()
{
   return object[s--];
}

template<class T>
void Stack<T>::push(T obj)
{
   ++s;
   object[s] = obj;
}

template<class T>
int Stack<T>::size()
{
   return s + 1;
}

template<class T>
Stack<T>::~Stack()
{
    delete[] object;
}

Stack.h

#ifndef STACK_H
#define STACK_H

template<class T>
class Stack
{
    public:
        Stack();
        Stack(int cap);
        bool isEmpty();
        T& top();
        T pop();
        void push(T);
        int size();
        ~Stack();

    protected:

    private:
        int s;
        T* object;
        const int CAPACITY;
};

#endif // STACK_H 

Main.cpp

#include "Stack.h"
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    Stack<int> intStack;
}

\C++\StackDataStructure\main.cpp|9|undefined reference to `Stack<int>::Stack()'|

You aren't building and/or linking the Stack.cpp file

What are you using to build your program?

[adam2016]

I should have mentioned I'm using codeblocks and mingw32 as my compiler

so codeblocks should take care of that for me but to no avail :/

would this be the problem? - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/495021/why-can-templates-only-be-implemented-in-the-header-file

if so, this is absolutely new to me :o

You got it.
