Question

I’m new to c++ and i want to compile my testprogram .
i have now 3 files “main.cpp” “parse.cpp” “parse.h”

how can i compile it with one command?

Answer 1

Compile them both at the same time and place result in a.out

$ g++ file.cpp other.cpp

Compile them both at the same time and place results in prog2

$ g++ file.cpp other.cpp -o prog2

Compile each separately and then link them into a.out

$ g++ -c file.cpp
$ g++ -c other.cpp
$ g++ file.o other.o

Compile each separately and then link them into prog2

$ g++ -c file.cpp
$ g++ -c other.cpp
$ g++ file.o other.o -o prog2
