Missing Library in Compiling

[nesalang]

When I try to compile

g++-4.2 memJpegDecoder.cpp

I get these errors.

I've tried linking the libjpeg files in /usr/lib, but it doesn't seem to be working. The header file that makes these calls can be found at https://setisvn.ssl.berkeley.edu/svn/seti_boinc/jpeglib/jpeglib.h . Please let me know if you have any questions.

>>g++-4.2 memJpegDecoder.cpp
That is attempting to compile the *.cpp and create the executable program a.out. From the error message I assume that *.cpp file doesnot contain a main() function, which is required of all c and c++ executable programs.

I'm working on a different part of the same project with him. Hopefully I'll get a copy of his work within a day or two, but the main thing we're trying to do right now that's giving those errors is that the project builds correctly with cmake. We're trying to write our own make file for the entire project, so we're trying to get it to work with make instead of cmake. I'll be back when I get his part.
