Re: bowling compile error

First off, let me assure everyone that there are no errors in the
bowling code that would cause it not to compile.

The problem here is that the Makefile provided is set up to compile
just by typing "make".  You could also compile by typing "make
bowling" (i.e., the name of the project, but not of any of the .cc
files).  In this case, when you type "make main" it tries to compile
just main.cc into an executable.  In fact, main compiles just fine, 
but ...

This indicates a linker error - i.e., in linking your executable it
could not find code for all those functions, so it did not know how to
proceed.

In short, to compile the bowling project, type "make" or "make bowling"

Hope this helps,
rcd
