I have the follwing class defined in X.cpp

class X {
  public:
  static bool bl_PropFile;

  void static writeToFile() {
     if(bl_PropFile == true) {
           // do something
     } else if(bl_PropFile == false) {
           // do something
     }
     }
};
bool MonitorCode::bl_PropFile;

Then I have another file called Y.cpp as shown below:

#include <iostream>
#include<stdio.h>
#include "X.cpp"

void main(void) {
// I call the static method of X here
         X::writeToFile();
}

both the files are compiling fine. But when I am building
them I am getting the following error:

X.obj : error LNK2005: "public: static bool X::bl_PropFile" (?bl_PropFile@X@@2_NA) already defined in Log.obj


What cab be the problem?

It looks like class X has already been defined in another file (Log). You either have to change the name of the class in X.cpp or define a namespace.
