I'm reading this one book on c++ and am having difficulty making an executable.
I'm a n00b at c++ and Ubuntu
so I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I've compiled all my cpp files into object files and now I need to link it
but when I try that I get this:

uncle@Orion:~/Desktop/gamedev/calc$ g++ -o calculator *.o -lm
main.o: In function `main':
main.cpp: (.text+0x28d): undefined reference to `SAMSErrorHandling::Initialize()'
main.cpp: (.text+0x33a): undefined reference to `SAMSErrorHandling::HandleRuntimeError(std::runtime_error)'
main.cpp: (.text+0x3c2): undefined reference to `SAMSErrorHandling::HandleNotANumberError()'
main.cpp: (.text+0x3f7): undefined reference to `SAMSPrompt::UserWantsToContinueYOrN(char const*)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

any suggestions?
also header files... um... I've made them, am I supposed to link those somehow too?:confused:

Show us the code?

o ok I just attached them.

#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>
#include "ErrorHandlingModule.h"

using namespace std;

namespace SAMSErrorHandling
{
	using namespace std;
	
	void Inititalize(void)
	{
		cin.exceptions(cin.failbit);
	}
	
	int HandleNotAnumberError(void) //Returns error code
	{
		cerr << "Input error - not a number?" << endl;
		cin.clear();
		//Eat the bad input so we can pause the program
		char BadInput[5];
		cin >> BadInput;
		return 1; // An error occured
	}
	int HandleRuntimeError(runtime_error theRuntimeError)
		{
			cerr << theRuntimeError.what() << endl;
			return 1;
		}
}
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

	float theOperand = 1;
	cout << "The Operand: ";
	cin >> theOperand;
	return theOperand;
}
	
	



float Accumulate (const char theOperator,const float theOperand)
	{
		static float myAccumulator = 0; //Inititalize to 0 when the program starts

	return (DoneCharacter != 'n');

the header files
in case I messed those up somehow

#ifndef ErrorHandlingModuleH
#define ErrorHandlingModuleH
#include <stdexcept>

using namespace std;

namespace SAMSErrorHandling
{
	void Initialize(void);
	int HandleNotANumberError(void); //Returns error code
	int HandleRuntimeError(runtime_error theRuntimeError);
}

#endif
#ifndef PromptModuleH
#define PromptModuleH


namespace SAMSPrompt
{
void PauseForUserAcknowledgement(void);
bool UserWantsToContinueYOrN (const char *theThingWeAreDoing);
}
#endif

how can i get address of function in c++

Member Avatar for mrnutty

Just for trial, try putting :

using namespace SAMSErrorHandling;

at the top of your main.
