Linking problem?

(1/1)

Bananskrue:
This may just be me making a rookie mistake since I haven't programmed in a long, long time, but I'm getting some weird problems when I'm trying to divide my program into several source/header files.

The current program code looks a little bit something like this:

main.cpp

--- Code: ---
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

#include "functions.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
hello();
return 0;
}


--- End code ---

functions.h


--- Code: ---
#ifndef FUNCTIONS_H_INCLUDED
#define FUNCTIONS_H_INCLUDED

void hello();

#endif // FUNCTIONS_H_INCLUDED

--- End code ---

Hello.cpp

--- Code: ---
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>

#include "functions.h"

using namespace std;

void hello()
{
cout << "Hello";
}

--- End code ---

The error I am getting is: "Undefined reference to hello();" when it is called in the main.cpp file. If I include Hello.cpp in the header file, everything works fine and dandy, but that's obviously not the way to go. Am I missing something crucial here? All files are under the same project that I made in code::blocks. My SINCEREST apologies if I've either coded something wrong or this is as stated in the rules related to gnu cpp, however I thought all files under the project were supposed to be linked, whereas it does not seem this is the case?

Thanks!

It will tell you how to enable full logging and then you can see what is compiled and what is linked.
