error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol/ - visual-c++

Question

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to compile an ogre sample found on Github.
I've had several Intellisense errors, compilation & linking errors. Now I'm stuck with 2 linker errors. I know there's a lot of similar questions around here because I've read a lot on the subject but I can't find (or see) the right solution.
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall NFSpace::PlanetMapTile::PlanetMapTile(struct NFSpace::QuadTreeNode *,class Ogre::SharedPtr<class Ogre::Texture>,class Ogre::Image,class Ogre::SharedPtr<class Ogre::Texture>,int)" (??0PlanetMapTile#NFSpace##QAE#PAUQuadTreeNode#1#V?$SharedPtr#VTexture#Ogre###Ogre##VImage#4#1H#Z) referenced in function "public: class NFSpace::PlanetMapTile * __thiscall NFSpace::PlanetMap::finalizeTile(struct NFSpace::QuadTreeNode *)" (?finalizeTile#PlanetMap#NFSpace##QAEPAVPlanetMapTile#2#PAUQuadTreeNode#2##Z)

here is the code associated with the first error:
PlanetMapTile.h
namespace NFSpace {
class PlanetMapTile {
public:
PlanetMapTile(QuadTreeNode* node, TexturePtr heightTexture, Image heightImage, TexturePtr normalTexture, int size);
~PlanetMapTile();
};
}
PlanetMapTile.cpp
#include "PlanetMapTile.h"
namespace NFSpace {
PlanetMapTile::PlanetMapTile(QuadTreeNode* node, TexturePtr heightTexture, Image heightImage, TexturePtr normalTexture, int size) {
//do something
}
PlanetMapTile::~PlanetMapTile() {
//do something
}
}
PlanetMap.h
#include "PlanetMapTile.h"
namespace NFSpace {
class PlanetMap {
public:
PlanetMapTile* finalizeTile(QuadTreeNode* node);
};
}
PlanetMap.cpp
#include "PlanetMap.h"
namespace NFSpace {
PlanetMapTile* PlanetMap::finalizeTile(QuadTreeNode* node) {
mStep = 0;
return new PlanetMapTile(node, mHeightTexture, mHeightImage, mNormalTexture, getInt("planet.textureSize"));
}
}
Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

That is how you should declare the name space
PlanetMApTile.h
namespace NFSpace{
class PlanetMapTile {
public:
PlanetMapTile(QuadTreeNode* node, TexturePtr heightTexture, Image heightImage, TexturePtr normalTexture, int size);
~PlanetMapTile();
};
}
PlanetMapTile.cpp
#include "PlanetMapTile.h"
NFSpace::PlanetMapTile::PlanetMapTile(QuadTreeNode* node, TexturePtr heightTexture, Image heightImage, TexturePtr normalTexture, int size) {
//do something
}
NFSpace::PlanetMapTile::~PlanetMapTile() {
//do something
}
PlanetMap.h
#include "PlanetMapTile.h"
class PlanetMap {
public:
NFSpace::PlanetMapTile* finalizeTile(QuadTreeNode* node);
}
PlanetMap.cpp
#include "PlanetMap.h"
NFSpace::PlanetMapTile* PlanetMap::finalizeTile(QuadTreeNode* node) {
mStep = 0;
return new NFSpace::PlanetMapTile(node, mHeightTexture, mHeightImage, mNormalTexture, getInt("planet.textureSize"));
}

Answer 2

So I've finally found the solution:
Considering the fact that PlanetMapTile() and getNode() were both involving QuadTreeNode* and that ~PlanetMapTile() didn't raise an error, I've started to look at the QuadTreeNode declaration which is located in PlanetCubeTree.h. Then I've just tried to add #include "PlanetCubeTree.h" to PlanetMapTile.h and it solved the error.
Thank you for your help
