I have these files

consumer.hpp
defines.hpp
main.cpp
makefile
producer.cpp
producer.hpp

here's the file defines.hpp

#ifndef DEFINES_HPP
#define DEFINES_HPP

#include <cassert>
#include <pthread.h> 
#include <queue>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>
#include <unistd.h>

pthread_mutex_t set_queue_mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
pthread_cond_t  condition_var = PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER;

std::queue<int> q;

#endif // DEFINES_HPP

This defines.hpp file is included in the producer.hpp and consumer.hpp. producer.hpp and consumer.hpp files respectively included to producer.cpp and consumer.cpp and yet to main.cpp. When compiling I get an error.

Here is my makefile

    g++ -o $@ $^ -lpthread -ggdb
.PHONY : clean
clean:
    rm -rf main *.swf *.o

How to solve this problem ?
