Error

[khal]

Hi, I get this error when I try to compile my code. Unfortunately I can't post it since its a hw assignment. Could someone explain what it means?
Thanks

Have you included all the necessary header files?

Have you linked all the libraries needed?

Have missed compiling one of your source files?

Is it a something from the std namespace that is missing the leading std:: ?

Okay I did a template class and separated each part into .cpp and .h and In int main() i did #include".h" however I kept getting the error so I did #include".cpp" and it works fine. I dont understand why but it works.

You will want to include the .h in the corresponding .cpp file.


For instance:

template.cpp -> include template.h

main.cpp -> include template.h

template.h -> include .h files of any extra libraries being used ie - #include <hash_map> (it looks you are creating you own version)


You might want to consider using a makefile if you have several files to compile.
