undefined reference to main and other functions

[blueblueblue2005]

Hi, I am learning C++ using the examples from Deitel How to Program in
C++. I download the example code. now I am working on the operator
overloading. I am working under Ubuntu Linux 5.04. I installed the g++
compiler package from synaptic package manager, g++-3.3, and set up a
soft link g++. when I compile the sample code( the command I use is:
g++ fig11_05.cpp), I got error message like this:

/tmp/ccJDZHAY.o(.tex t+0x4f): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `operator>>(std ::basic_istream <char,
std::char_trait s<char> >&, PhoneNumber&)'
/tmp/ccJDZHAY.o(.tex t+0x76): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `operator<<(std ::basic_ostream <char,
std::char_trait s<char> >&, PhoneNumber const&)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
The program is a very simple one, the source code are following(there
are 3 files)

// Fig. 11.3: PhoneNumber.h
// PhoneNumber class definition
#ifndef PHONENUMBER_H
#define PHONENUMBER_H

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

//using std::ostream;
//using std::istream;

#include <string>
using std::string;

class PhoneNumber
{
friend ostream &operator<<( ostream &, const PhoneNumber & );
friend istream &operator>>( istream &, PhoneNumber & );
private:
string areaCode; // 3-digit area code
string exchange; // 3-digit exchange
string line; // 4-digit line
}; // end class PhoneNumber

#endif
#include <iomanip>
using std::setw;

#include "PhoneNumbe r.h"

// overloaded stream insertion operator; cannot be
// a member function if we would like to invoke it with
// cout << somePhoneNumber ;
ostream &operator<<( ostream &output, const PhoneNumber &number )
{
output << "(" << number.areaCode << ") "
<< number.exchange << "-" << number.line;
return output; // enables cout << a << b << c;
} // end function operator<<

// overloaded stream extraction operator; cannot be
// a member function if we would like to invoke it with
// cin >> somePhoneNumber ;
istream &operator>>( istream &input, PhoneNumber &number )
{
input.ignore(); // skip (
input >> setw( 3 ) >> number.areaCode ; // input area code
input.ignore( 2 ); // skip ) and space
input >> setw( 3 ) >> number.exchange ; // input exchange
input.ignore(); // skip dash (-)
input >> setw( 4 ) >> number.line; // input line
return input; // enables cin >> a >> b >> c;
} // end function operator>>
// Fig. 11.5: fig11_05.cpp
// Demonstrating class PhoneNumber's overloaded stream insertion
// and stream extraction operators.
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;

#include "PhoneNumbe r.h"

int main()
{
PhoneNumber phone; // create object phone

cout << "Enter phone number in the form [phone]:" << endl;

// cin >> phone invokes operator>> by implicitly issuing
// the global function call operator>>( cin, phone )
cin >> phone;

cout << "The phone number entered was: ";

// cout << phone invokes operator<< by implicitly issuing
// the global function call operator<<( cout, phone )
cout << phone << endl;
return 0;
} // end main

The program is a very simple one, the source code are following(there

And yet you are only providing the name of one of them to your compiler.
No wonder why your linker is unable to resolve the references. Try it
again with a proper command line; something like:

g++ -o <output-file> <source-file-1> <source-file-2> ...

One more thing, it would have been easier if you had started out with
the basic "Hello, world!", as most everybody else, before moving on.

Hope this helps you,

Thanks very much :), I thought g++ will automatically link the included
file as java does. so if there are a lot source cpp file, I better
write a make file.

What everyone else said, but watch out here:

[snipped some code...]

int main()
{
PhoneNumber phone; // create object phone
cout << "Enter phone number in the form [phone]:" << endl;

Since you have white space in the input, cin will not work as
expected. Check out the getline function instead.
