gcc header files and cpp files?

ive been looking and cant find any way to compile and link header files with its counterpart cpp file.

IE: i have Date.h used in Date.cpp, and cant seem to link them together, let alone compile them, how can i go about doing this?

Ok, first thing you should do, use g++ instead of gcc.

#include "Date.h" in your Date.cpp file.

g++ -Wall -o Date Date.cpp

one more question i hope to get answered, what flag(s) other than -Wall and -o do i need if the cpp file in question doesnt have a main? when using -Wall and -o i got errors about main, threw one in there and it worked like a charm, but what if i dont want to use main? the program originally didnt have one, and since it was given to me by a professor i know it works and what not. any clues to have it not complain about a missing main() ?

THANKS I REALLY APPERICATE IT !!
