C++ Error "Undefinded reference to 'Student::Student - c++

Question

Hey Guys I could really use some help here. I am in a intro to C++ class, and have been trying my best to figure out this whole programming thing out. In one of my assignments i am getting an "undefined reference to" error in my program. It is coming up on line 30 of the main.cpp file. The line that creates a new student object called student1 using the constructor student. Any help figuring out the root of this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!!

I am using a GNU GCC Compiler to compile the program.

Answer 1

I think maybe here's the solution:
"This task tells g++ to take the active file (${file}), compile it, and create an executable file in the current directory (${fileDirname}) with the same name as the active file but without an extension (${fileBasenameNoExtension}), resulting in helloworld for our example."
