Hello,

    I have a problem with linking. When I compile with:
g++ -o employee.exe employee.cpp person.cpp supervsr.cpp
everything compiles and runs perfectly.
If I compile separately:
g++ -c employee.cpp
g++ -c person.cpp
g++ -c supervsr.cpp
I get the .o files but then when I type:
ld -o employee.exe \djgpp\lib\crt0.o employee.o person.o supervsr.o -lc
I get:

c:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe: cannot open -lc: File format not recognized

The -lc option is supposed to invoke the libc.a library which is in
\djgpp\lib\.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Could anyone please give a helpful advise?

Thank you,
Vlasis.

PS: If I try: ld -o employee.exe \djgpp\lib\crt0.o employee.o person.o
supervsr.o \djgpp\lib\libc.a
I get many screens of messages like these:
supervsr.o(.text+0x369):supervsr.cpp: undefined reference to `cout'
supervsr.o(.text+0x36e):supervsr.cpp: undefined reference to
`ostream::operator<
<(char const *)'
Any hints?
