  Do you honestly think that an IDE like Visual Studio is not going to
automatically create project dependencies for you?

  In the Unix side of the world knowing a bit of makefile syntax gets you
a long way. It's even possible to create a makefile (at least when using
gnu make) which automates mostly everything, including resolving dependencies.

  And for a small project a simple "g++ *.cc -o myprogram" will do just fine.
