hey guys, how are you all.
i am having a little problems in linking my files. i am using gcc compiler.

the command line that i use is g++ -c player.cpp to create the first object file

player.h

class Player_Type
{
private:
int id;
string fname;
string lname;
string team;
int wickets;
int runs;
int matches;

public:
void setfname(string);
void setlname(string);
void setteam(string);
void setwickets(int);
void setruns(int);
void setmatches(int);
string getfname();
string getlname();
string getteam();
int getwickets();
int getruns();
int getmatches();
};

player.cpp
this has the definitions of the class in my header file

#include <cstring>
#include "player.h"

using namespace std;


void Player_Type::setfname(string name1)
{

fname=name1;

}


void Player_Type::setlname(string name2)
{

lname=name2;


}


void Player_Type::setteam(string team1)
{

team=team1;

}
void Player_Type::setwickets(int wick)
{
wickets=wick;
}

void Player_Type::setruns(int run)
{
runs=run;
}

void Player_Type::setmatches(int match)
{
matches=match;
}



string Player_Type::getfname()
{

return fname;
}

string Player_Type::getlname()
{

return lname;
}


string Player_Type::getteam()
{

return team;
}

int Player_Type::getwickets()
{
return wickets;
}

int Player_Type::getruns();
{
return runs;
}

int Player_Type::getmatches()
{
return matches;
}

game1.cpp
this is the code which has the main function

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <fstream>
#include "player.h"
using namespace std;


int main()
{



ifstream infile;
infile.open("player.txt");
if(!infile)
{
 cout<<"Sorry, but the file does not exist. Please make sure that the file is available."<<endl;

}//end of if(!infile)

string fname,lname,team;
int wick,run, match,no,i;

infile>>no;

Player_Type *player=new Player_Type[no];



if(infile)
{

for(i=0;i<no;i++)
{
infile>>fname;
player[i].setfname(fname);
infile>>lname;
player[i].setlname(lname);
infile>>team;
player[i].setteam(team);
infile>>wick;
player[i].setwickets(wick);
infile>>run;
player[i].setruns(run);
infile>>match;
player[i].setmatches(match);
}//end of for loop


for(i=0;i<no;i++)
{
cout<<player[i].getfname()<<" ";
cout<<player[i].getlname()<<" ";
cout<<player[i].getteam()<<" ";
cout<<player[i].getwickets()<<" ";
cout<<player[i].getruns()<<" ";
cout<<player[i].getmatches()<<" ";
cout<<endl;
}//end of for loop 

}//end of if(infile)

infile.close();//this closes the input file

delete []player;
return 0;

}

the following are the errors i get in gcc

i would really appreciate your help

thanx in advance

C++ strings are in #include <string>
Use this if you want a string type.

C strings (strcpy et al) are in #include <cstring>

i have changed to #include <string>
but i am still getting the same problem.

its ok, ive got this problem solved. asked someone else.

thanx anyways
