When running the following code i get a big compile error:

Class definiation saved as : class.h
[php]
#ifndef CLASS_H
#define CLASS_H

class debug
{
public:
debug(int a = 77);
int getbug();

private:
int x;



};

#endif
[/php]

class functions saved as: debug.cpp
[php]
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

#include "class.h"

debug::debug(a)
{
a = x;
}

int debug::getbug()
{
return x;
}
[/php]

main: saved as main.cpp

[php]
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

#include "class.h"

int main()

{

debug d1(100);

return 0;
}
[/php]

if you've noticed in main thats theres an include.h , if I change it to include the .cpp instead it works 100% but thats not considered good programming. So I'm hoping someone will let me know whats what?

Should it be like this?

I made the corectiong but no different in the error I get.

Is "debug.cpp" part of the project?

yes debug.cpp is the functions,

I don't quite follow what you are saying. My question is whether or not the project includes both source modules (as opposed to the mere existance of files).

Now I'm confused I thought the header itself will include that cpp file, so when you include the .H files its auto included?

A header should have declarations and allow all modules to compile. But a definition is needed to successfully link. This is where you are having problems. You tell the linker to expect a definition to be found, but then don't tell it where to find it.

I'm not sure if you looked at the picture I added to my previous reply in the edit, but your project ought to look something like that.

I made the edits but it also failed... I'm going to have a play with working code and see if that produces something different

This is between you and the linker. Look at the project pane. See the two modules listed.

[edit]And stop messing with the code. The error is not there.
