linking to object file

[fishysheep]

Hello

CAn anyone please tell me how to solve the following problem. I want to link my main program (containing #include myclass.h) to an object file.

I have 3 files
myclass.h (class interface)
myclass.cpp (member functions for class and #include "myclass.h&quot
mainprog.cpp (containg main and #include "myclass.h&quot
myclass.o (object file)

QUESTION
I should now be able to compile mainprog (which contains #include "myclass.h&quot - but when I do this I get linker errors saying that it cant call constructor or any member functions.

What I want to do is that I give .h and .o file to persons, but keep myclass.cpp away from them becuase of code. Is this possible?

thanks you.

All code fine, compiles ok when in same file.

for the linker you will need the .lib file not the .o or .obj file. The lib file is unreadable for a third party. These is the usual way the components are traded.

To instruct the linker to add the reference to your .lib usually you put a line in stdafx.h like:

#pragma comment(lib, "Mylib"

take care not to put Mylib.lib, it does not need the extension.
