`undefined reference to `main` in Cpp class without main()

I came across this while trying to get an answer. But it seems like the poster had multiple files and they were not getting linked, and hence the error.

But, why do I get this error when using a single file?

g++ myClass.cpp  
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.6.3/../../../crt1.o: In function `_start':
(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

And why is main necessary here at compile time (from where does it find a mention of main in my code) ? main is the starting point of code execution, but why does the compiler assume i need a main here. I can have it defined in some other file and use gcc -o to make an executable?

Or maybe I am missing something else in the code which causes the error?

#include<iostream>
class myClass
{

public:
myClass()
{
    std::cout<<"Constructor";
}

~myClass()
{
    std::cout<<"Destructor";    
}

};
