i am posting the code below.... please tell me where the error is ..... i am new to codeblocks.... the error comes at swt and iswt function as undefined referrence........

Where are the swt() and iswt() functions declared/defined? Are they in the wavelet2d.h header file?

Yes they are in the wavelet2d.h header file.... :)

You might have to add the directory where the .h file is into the linker so it will search for it. What is the exact error yu are getting?

"Undefined reference" means the linker cannot find the actual function code. Generally, this means that you have not linked against the right library, or that you simply haven't written the code (and sometimes that you've spelled the name of a function incorrectly).

Unless the actual code of the function is in the header (which is unlikely, as that's a very, very, very bad idea) it's not a header problem. The fact that this is a linker error indicates that the compiler is happy, so I'd guess you have included the right header, containing the function prototype, but haven't linked the library.

If you're not expecting to have to write that function yourself, which I'd guess you're not, then you definitely haven't linked against the right library.

Remember, a header file is not a library.
