Very basic problem, I guess...

This file compiles with no problems:

// start of main.cpp

class A
{
int n;
public:
void check();
};

void A::check()
{
n=1;
}

void main()
{
A objA;
objA.check();
}

// end of main.cpp

But when I seperate it to 3 files: header, class functions implementation and
main, the compilation fails:

// start of header file

class A
{
int n;
public:
void check();
};

// end of header file

//start of class functions implementation file

#include "A.h"

void A::check()
{
n=1;
}

// end of class functions implementation file

//start of main file

#include "A.h"

void main()
{
A objA;
objA.check();
}

//end of main file

compilation output:

What is my mistake?

It looks like all you're doing is

    dmc main.cpp
