How To Use Multiple .cpp Files? Options

[Capn_Fish]

I'm starting to hopefully code a game for the Z, but I need to put stuff not only in multiple .hpp files but also in .cpp files. Does anybody have a good link for how to do this? My horrible searching skills failed to turn anything up.

Also, is there a good tutorial for using the autotools/makefiles? Those seem to be important to using multiple source files as well.

Thanks.

Ah, that mostly clears it up. A couple of follow-up questions:

1. So I make a prototype function in the header ( void myfunction(int myint); ), then have the complete function in the .cpp file? (Yes, as it works)

2. How do I use automake if I don't have a configure.in or configure.ac file?

Thanks.

EDIT: I'm getting errors when I try to compile with the files like they are:

CODE

What's wrong?
