Using the getopt_pp library

[Nature1]

I've been trying to use the c++ version of "getopt" named "getopt_pp" in a homework assignment. After wrestling with my own code and searching the documentation for examples I tried this basic hello world code taken directly form the manual:

#include <iostream>
#include "optLib\getopt_pp.h"

using namespace GetOpt;
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    string who;

    GetOpt_pp ops(argc, argv);

    ops >> Option('n', "name", who, "world" );

    cout << "Hello " << who << "!" << endl;

    return 0;
}

after trying to compile it with the program Code::Blocks I get this build message:

obj\Debug\main.o||In function `main':|
C:\CStephan\CPTXTparser2\test\main.cpp|11|undefined reference to `GetOpt::GetOpt_pp::GetOpt_pp(int, char**)'|
C:\CStephan\CPTXTparser2\test\main.cpp|13|undefined reference to `GetOpt::GetOpt_pp::operator>>(GetOpt::_Option const&)'|
||=== Build finished: 2 errors, 0 warnings ===| 

I am totally at a loss, it's the most basic example form the documentation but I can't get it to compile. Am I doing something wrong here?

The functions/classes are implemented in some library that you need to link against.
(Sorry, don't know which OTOMH)

Thx for the reply, found a standalone header file called getopt_pp_standalone.h and it works fine now :)
