How to make a library in c++ like stl

Question

I have made my own implementations of many of the STL features like Vectors, Lists, BST, Queue, Stack and given them all the functions that an STL corresponding library has....

Now i want to use this library by

#include "myLibName.h"

What I Did :

g++ -o -c myLib myLib.cpp

From This I got the object file...

But when i compile programs i have to link the object file myself...
Is there any way that i can do without linking...like the iostream and the other libraries are linked automatically.

I know that a SHARED OBJECT file (eg. libc.so in C) is where all the implementations are held in C.... If that's the solution then how do i make any and use it like other standard libraries in C++ without linking object file every time.

PS: After a lot of efforts i have created these libraries myself...Now Struck at the final step...Pls Help...

To make your build process cleaner for large projects in which you need to link multiple projects, you can use Makefiles.
After that you need to just type make at the terminal to compile and build the whole project.

Another solution is the following, although many people don't recommend it,

      header.h
     class Foo
     { 
         // some variable and method declarations. 
     }

header.h is your header file which will contain your declarations.

    implement.cpp // this is the implementation file
    #include "header.h" 
    // Now implement various methods you declared in your "header.h" file. 

implement.cpp is your implementation file which contains the implementation and the definition of static members.

    main.cpp
    #include "header.cpp" 
    // use your methods. 

Now you don't need to link your object files, just do g++ -Wall main.cpp
