Trouble compiling

I'm getting an error when I try to compile my project and don't know how to resolve it. If anyone knows the answer I would appreciate the help!
Here's the error:

you added something that uses something from theora?
dont know what you did, but it seems like:

at link time, its looking for something, and not finding it.
its usualy if you add as an include, or add an h file to the solution, but the definition isnt found.

did you add an h file to your build, but not its cpp file? add it

did you add an h file as an include, but not its cpp file to the build? add it

did you call a function, found it was looking for a h file, and you added the include so the function could be called? add the cpp to the build.

most times it wont build, but thats why you get the error anyway.

dunno, guessing here

I found the problem, for some reason an entire directory was missing out of the source for libtheora.
