I want to demonstrate several ways of building multi-file C++ projects.
You do know how to just compile the *.cpp files already.
g++ main.cpp teacher.cpp student.cpp monk.cpp -o the_world
./the_world
That will do the job. But now I want to demonstrate creating object files, *.o:
g++ -c teacher.cpp
g++ -c student.cpp
g++ -c monk.cpp
g++ -c main.cpp
g++ main.o teacher.o student.o monk.o -o the_world
./the_world
Finally we can use a Makefile:
make
./the_world
