I've tried this like the following:

=========== VESA.H ===========
#ifndef _VESA_H_
#define _VESA_H_

// prototypes, structures, vars, etc.

#endif

========== VESA.CPP ==========
#ifndef _VESA_CPP_
#define _VESA_CPP_

// function body's

#endif

========== MAIN.CPP ==========
include "vesa.h"

void main()
{
  // function call to function in VESA.CPP
};

I get an "undefined reference" in main() on the line which calls the
function. The only way to solve this problem is to add the line '#include
"vesa.h"' to vesa.cpp, and to include vesa.cpp in the main program, not
vesa.h. Somehow i get the feeling this is not the way it is supposed to be
done... BTW: how can i convert an object file to a library?

Thanks,
Jasper.
