How to link a library file under C++?

I am trying to use a open source library under C++.

The README file states that

Y开发者_C百科ou need to link your program with `svm.cpp'.

I am wondering how to link my program with svm.cpp? Do I need to modify the make file to make this happen?

Compile svm.cpp with not linking, will result svn.o object file, use it object file with your program linking.
