How to compile two programs at once??

[luc]

like when you have a class and you need to compile both the program and the constructor?

thanks.

I am not sure about this "cpp file and a constructer (which is also a cpp file)." thing.

A constructor is simply a member function of a class - I am not sure how this necessarily relates to compilation unit organisation.

Slow down a bit. Do you mean two programs or two files?

For compiling multiple files (.cpp and .h) into a single application,
you use a "Project"

There is not mechanism within Dev analagous to the "Solution" idea
that visual studio uses that may have multiple exes.

Oops sorry about that. I may have been a bit vague. What I meant was, how do you compile two cpp's together? NOT the exe's.

Like how do you compile a cpp file and a constructer (which is also a cpp file).

I believe if I were in unix, the command would be: g++ pro.cpp constructer.cpp

I just wanna know how I would go about doing that in Dev-C++. And if the answer is use a project, could you please provide a little more detail? Thanks.

Create a New:Project - and simply add your source code to it.

Bump around through the menus - it will be obvious what I am mumbling about. There
are a number of "Template" projects that come with Dev and the Dev-Packs that can
show you how things work.

Much like what you know from the Unix world, the IDE will create a makefile that
will work with "make" to link it all together.
