error: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and gcc 4.8.2. I'm trying to compile the following code using this command:

g++ -Wall -W -std=c++11 game.cpp -o game

I'm getting the following error:

game.cpp:(.text+0x24): undefined reference to 'GameLoop::WelcomePlayer(sPlayer&)'
game.cpp:(.text+0x2f): undefined reference to 'GameLoop::RunGame()'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Here is the part of my code where I'm assuming my error is:

{
	sPlayer player;
	GameLoop::WelcomePlayer(player);

	bool bIsPlaying = true;
	while(bIsPlaying)
	{
	  bIsPlaying = GameLoop::RunGame();
	}
	
	return 0;
}

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You need to include GameLoop.cpp on the command line otherwise those function definitions you supply won't be linked in.

That did it! Thank you.
