g++ and ar

["Simon Martin" <smartin@isys.cl>]

Hi all,

I am developing an applications using g++. I am also generating a library of
classes that I will be reusing. I use the following commands to compile and
archive a library class:

gandalf {/development/projects/link/Isys/CIsysSocket} $make
g++ -D _GNU_SOURCE -D _REENTRANT -c -g -o ./MyClass.o -I. -I../include
./MyClass.cxx
ar -sru ../lib/libMyClasses.a *.o

When I compile my application against MyClasses it does not find the class
members defined in MyClass.cxx. If I compile against MyClass.o then
everything works ok.

If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'll stand them a beer (or 2)
the next time they're in Chile.

TIA
