This is wrong.  Try this:

  gcc -o CppLibTest.exe CppLibTest.cpp CppLib.o

You *must* submit all the relevant source/object files to GCC,
otherwise how do you expect the linker to find code you put into
CppLib.cpp?

The header files doesn't include anything except the text that you see
inside that header file.  It does NOT magically pull in the code of
CppLib.cpp, because that's a different file.

Yes, that's the case.
