c++ - Newbie DMC++ question: Linking

reply Tod <tk1986be gmail.com> writes:
Dear experts,
I am still learning c++ and I have chosen dmc because it looks simple enough
for me (I don't want to learn how to use a fancy IDE yet).

I managed to get into classes and now I am practicing the splitting
of files. I have my hello.cpp, which includes a class chocolate.h (that file
includes only prototypes), which has its member functions defined in a file
called chocolate.cpp.

I don't know how to link the three files into one executable.
Please give me step-by-step instructions of the most simple way to do it. I
noticed the compiler will find chocolate.h when it's in the same folder as
hello.cpp but I don't know how to link the chocolate.obj (generated from
chocolate.cpp, with a "no start address" warning) with the hello.obj.

Thanks!
