overloading operator<< undefined reference - c++

Question

This is my h file:
class Student
{
public:
Student(std::string _name, size_t _age)
:m_name(_name), m_age(_age){}
friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& _os, const Student& _student);
private:
std::string m_name;
size_t m_age;
};
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& _os, const Student& _student)
{
_os <<"Student " << _student.m_name << ", age: " << _student.m_age << std::endl;
return _os;
}
And this is the cpp:
#include <iostream>
#include "student.h"
int main()
{
Student s1("Anna", 13);
std::cout << s1;
return 0;
}
I am getting a linkage error:
undefined reference to `std::ostream::operator<<(unsigned int)'
(it's much longer, but I assume all has to do with the overloading of operator<<)
What am I doing wrong?

Use g++ to compile your code. If you are using gcc, add the -lsdtc++ at the end.
g++ student.cpp
or
gcc student.cpp -lstdc++
