Hi I am trying to follow the stanford cs106/x course but they use certain libraries that they no longer provide. I have managed to find a version of them but I constantly get an error. I added the .h files to the current project I was using them in. This is the simple code im running in C++:
#include <iostream>
#include "genlib.h"
#include "simpio.h"
int main()
{
cout << "How much do you love me? ";
int howAweSome = GetInteger();
for (int i = 0; i < howAweSome; i++)
cout << "10GB rocks!" << endl;
return 0;
}
The following errors occur:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"GetInteger()", referenced from:
Main() in main.o
"_main", referenced from:
-u command line option
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Here are the libraries used:
"simplio.h":

I am running Xcode 4.5.2 on a macbook pro OS X 10.8.2. If anyone knows how to resolve the problem it would be of great help.
The .h files only declare that certain functions exist. To link your program with them, you need to have actual implementations of those functions.
For each of the .h files, there should be a matching .c or .cpp that you would include in your build. (Or, if it were distributed as binary, .a or .dylib.)
