compiling multiple cpp files
compiling multiple cpp files
I am writing c++ in notepad++ using nppexec plugin and compiling with minGW.
I have a folder structure of:
projckt/
- main.cpp
- head/
-- vtk.h
- src/
-- vtk/
--- vtkFile1.cpp
--- vtkFile2.cpp
How do I compile and link? For my "hello world" scripts I used:
npp_save
cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
g++ $(FILE_NAME) -std=c++11 -o $(NAME_PART)
NPP_RUN $(NAME_PART)
This works fine, I want a solution where I don't have to add a new .cpp file to the command when I create one. I have tried:
npp_save
cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
g++ *.cpp -std=c++11 -o $(NAME_PART)
NPP_RUN $(NAME_PART)
It seems that the .cpp files in the sub directories is not included. Is there a way similar to copying subtree folders in unix cp -r.
.cpp
cp -r
Possible duplicate of g++ compile source files existing in another directory

@Jarod42 I used Visual Studio 2017 but felt that I did to much in the back ground, I want to learn what happens in the background before I rely on a IDE
