            g++ -c blah.cpp
  

• to compile/link/load/create executable on nrs-labs for a program whose main function is in myprog.cpp, which calls function fun1 in fun1.cpp, which calls function fun2 in fun2.cpp:
  

            g++ -o myprog myprog.o fun1.o fun2.o
  or
            g++ myprog.o fun1.o fun2.o -o myprog
