    C++ Libraries

    I have written a set of C++ classes that I would like to compile into a
    library file, that then can be linked into other projects so I can use those
    classes. The only thing is that I am not to sure how make the classes into
    a library, and then how to consequently link them into my other projects.
    Can anybody point me in the right direction please. I want to statically
    link them so that the code is compiled into the app, because I don't want to
    mess with DLL's

    Thanks

      Actually this is platform specific.

      I can talk about Windows platform though -
      Write your functions, compile the source files to object files. Then
      instead of linking, use lib.exe to create a library file.

          Only compile the file, do not link it. Then, link the object files (.obj
          on windows, or .o on UNIX), and you have the binary ready. You will have
          to put the declarations in the headers (.h files), while definitions in
          the .cpp files and compile those .cpp files.
