Hello everybody.

#include "MyConnection.h"
#include "MyString.h"

// function for working with net
int Connection::m_CreateSocket()
{
   int retsocket;
   if((retsocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0)) < 0)
   {
      String str;
      str.m_Error("UDP server - socket() error");
      return -1;
   }
   return retsocket;
}

serverTest: main.cpp MyString.o MyString.h MyConnection.cpp MyConnection.h
   g++ -o serverTest main.cpp MyString.o MyConnection.cpp

MyString.o: MyString.h MyString.cpp
   g++ -c -g -Wall MyString.cpp



During compilation errors happend


make
g++ -c -g -Wall MyString.cpp
g++ -o serverTest main.cpp MyString.o MyConnection.cpp

the easiest way to create makefiles is to use autoconf and automake utility.
you can learn it in just a couple of hour's and then creating makefiles for any number of .cpp/.h files will be child's play...

it will be something like this:

serverTest: MyString.o MyConnection.o main.o
g++ -o serverTest MyString.o MyConnection.o main.o

MyString.o: MyString.h MyString.cpp
   g++ -c -g -Wall MyString.cpp

MyConnection.o: MyConnection.cpp MyConnection.h
g++ -c -g -Wall  MyConnection.cpp

main.o: Main.cpp MyConnection.h
g++ -c -g -Wall  Main.cpp


i hope this should work.

It doesn't work because MyConnection.cpp called class that is in MyString.cpp
writetonsharma (1461)
oh.. i didnt see that..
modify it:

serverTest: MyString.o MyConnection.o main.o
g++ -o serverTest MyString.o MyConnection.o main.o

MyString.o: MyString.h MyString.cpp
g++ -c -g -Wall MyString.cpp

MyConnection.o: MyConnection.cpp MyConnection.h Mystring.h
g++ -c -g -Wall MyConnection.cpp

main.o: Main.cpp MyConnection.h
g++ -c -g -Wall Main.cpp

now try.
