Atlas related Linker error

by Richard Hebblewhite · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 09/02/2009 (3:27 pm) · 2 replies

Hi!

What is the most likely cause of the following error ??

1>guiMiniMap.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static class Point3F AtlasInstance::startCoords" (?startCoords@AtlasInstance@@2VPoint3F@@A)
1>../../../game/Stronghold.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

Atlas is implemented and activated correctly (as per the Gotcha list) in my version TGEA 1.7.1 so I'm a bit lost for a solution. As it happens, I'm trying to get the minimap resource (http://www.garagegames.com/community/resources/view/16799) working and have posted accordingly (check comments 20 & 21).

The error only appears when the minimap files are included in the compilation (removing them results in a perfect compilation). Any help with this would be appreciated! :-)

    Richard, you've probably not defined and initialized the static variable startCoords in atlasInstance2.h and atlasInstance2.cpp. See the last comment in the resource for more information.

    Hi Dennis,

    Thanks for your response! I'd already initialised the static variable, but after tweaking it a bit, I'm now getting a new different error. Check the resource thread for my response.


    Thanks!
