Header File Will Not Compile

ldelsignore (57)
I am currently learning OOP, and I can't figure out what the problem is with my header file. The rest of the program complies fine though. I am using g++ on UNIX.


myClass.h:9:23: error: Rectangle.h: No such file or directory
myClass.h: In function ‘int main()’:
myClass.h:13: error: ‘Rectangle’ was not declared in this scope
myClass.h:13: error: expected `;' before ‘rect’
myClass.h:14: error: ‘rect’ was not declared in this scope

main() should be in a source file.

The preprocessor can't find Rectangle.h; is that really the name of your header? It seems you have only RectangleClass.cpp.

The definition of the Rectangle class should be in a header file, not a source file as you have it here.
