i have these files:-
/lib
kernel.hpp
kernel.cpp
main.cpp
when i use
gcc -m32 -c main.cpp -lstdc++ -o main.o -llib/kernel.hpp
it says
[function name]([type of argument 1], [type of argument 2]) is not declared in this scope
how to fix?
I started writing a comment, but got to be too long, so we'll make it an answer instead. I don't think it in fact will answer your question, but it may point you in the right direction.
Let's clear up a misconception, c++ is not a superset of c; there are c constructs that c++ does not support. If your code is c++, you need to compile it with a c++ compiler. The problems you've been describing all indicate that compilation is failing; you're not at the point where the linker is involved. The compile command you provided in your question had a -c flag, which tells the compiler to stop after the compilation step - so there's no point in having a -lstd++ flag in addition. For the compiler to find kernel.hpp you need a -I flag which indicates the directory where kernel.hpp can be found. That's what I was suggesting in my first comment.
To sum up, as shown in the original question, you're using the wrong compiler and the wrong flags for what you want to do.
