Makefile errors: undefined reference(g++4.8.1,Ubuntu 12.04)

ROOT
1

Dear,
Recently, I am trying to do a GUI executable file using root. As a beginner, I am not familiar to makefile and this is my first time to compile a executable using makefile.
when I try to make , I got errors as following:

[quote]MyMainFrame.o: In function MyMainFrame::IsA() const': MyMainFrame.C:(.text._ZNK11MyMainFrame3IsAEv[_ZNK11MyMainFrame3IsAEv]+0x10): undefined reference toMyMainFrame::Class()’

Hi,

You have to create the dictionary for your MyMainFrame class. Please take a look at the attached tar file, it contains everything needed to properly build your application. And BTW, when building standalone GUI application, you must create a TApplication and call TApplication::Run() in order to process events (take a look at the main.cxx file)

Cheers, Bertrand.
