I have created a simple linked list template.
However, compilation goes fine, but when linking
I get errors:
c:/djgpp/tmp/ccaaaaaa1.o(.text+0x24):test.cpp: undefined reference to
`List<int>::List(void)'
c:/djgpp/tmp/ccaaaaaa1.o(.text+0x34):test.cpp: undefined reference to
`List<int>::add(int *)'

I hope nobody minds posting the source here.
Can anyone help me with that, please.
Thank you.
