Compiling a C ++ interface

EDIT:

I figured out the solution. I didn’t add -combine to my compilation instructions and it was generating errors.

I am working on Deitel and Deitel C ++ book. How to program and faced the problem of creating and compiling a C ++ interface with g ++. The problem is that I have declared the class in the .h file and defined the implementation in the .cpp file, but I cannot figure out how to get it to compile and work when I try to compile the test file I wrote. The g ++ error I am getting:

Undefined symbols:
  "GradeBook::GradeBook(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >)", referenced from:
      _main in ccohy7fS.o
      _main in ccohy7fS.o
  "GradeBook::getCourseName()", referenced from:
      _main in ccohy7fS.o
      _main in ccohy7fS.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status<

      

        
        
        
      

    

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.

My header file:

//Gradebook 6 Header
//Purpose is to be the class declaration for the class Gradebook 6
//Declare public, privates, and function names. 

#include  //the standard c++ string class library
using std::string;

//define the class gradebook
class GradeBook
{
    public:  //all the public functions in the class

     GradeBook(string ); //constructor expects string input
     void setCourseName (string ); //method sets course name--needs string input
     string getCourseName(); //function returns a string value
     void displayMessage();  //to console

    private: //all private members of the class
        string courseName; 
}; //ends the class declaration 
      

        
        
        
      

    

My .cpp file:

//Gradebook 6
// The actual implementation of the class delcaration in gradebook6.h

#include 
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

#include "gradebook6.h" //include the class definition

//define the class gradebook

GradeBook::GradeBook(string name) //constructor expects string input
{
    setCourseName(name); //call the set method and pass the input from the constructor. 
}

void GradeBook::setCourseName (string name) //method sets course name--needs string input
{
    courseName = name; //sets the private variable courseName to the value passed by name
}

string GradeBook::getCourseName() //function returns a string value
{
    return courseName;
}

void GradeBook::displayMessage()  //function does not return anything but displays //message to console
{
   cout //message here, the pre tag isn't letting it display
} //end function displayMessage

      

        
        
        
      

    

Finally, a test file I wrote to implement the interface and test it.

// Gradebook6 Test
// Program purpose is to test our GradeBook5 header file and file seperated classes

#include 
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

#include "gradebook6.h" //including our gradebook header from the local file.

//being program
int main()
{
    //create two gradebook objects 
    GradeBook myGradeBook1 ("CSC 101 Intro to C++ Programming"); //create a default object using the default constructor
    GradeBook myGradeBook2 ("CSC 102 Data Structures in C++");

    //display intitial course name
    cout //another output message here that the code tag does not like

    return 0;
}
