It tells you in 'readme.1st'.  Either in one stage:

  gcc myprog.cpp -o myprog.exe -lgpp

  or, more simply:

  gxx myprog.cpp -o myprog.exe

or in two stages:

  gcc -c myprog.cpp
  gcc -o myprog.exe myprog.o -lgpp

  similarly:

  gcc -c myprog.cpp
  gxx -o myprog.exe myprog.o

You just need to link the libraries.  Case is also important.  The FAQ
covers this topic in chapter 8.7.
