C++ Library/Link Question

[Douglas Jerome]

So, if this list is not apropriate for this sort of direct
question, let me know and I wont do it (anymore). But, I
have a question about linking together C++ code.

I compile several C++ files (f1.cc, f2.cc, and f3.cc) and
incrementally link them together:

	ld -r -o lib.o f1.o f2.o f3.o
		or
	ar r lib.a f1.o f2.o f3.o

then I compile some other files (main.cc, p1.cc, and p2.cc)
with a main and link them together with lib.o from above:

	g++ -o prog main.o p1.o p2.o lib.o
		or
	g++ -o prog main.o p1.o p2.o lib.a

It works fine for gcc, but doesn't work for g++; the
code in main.cc, p1.cc, and p2.cc that try to make objects
from the classes in lib.o can't find them. There are
unresolved references, as if I didn't have lib.o involved
at all.

Anyone know where I can find information on making and using
a library with C++?

Thanks.
