Horrible linker error, how do I fix it? *solved*
Author
Hi, I am using C++ and Direct3D9.
My project was compiling fine, running fine. Then I added a bit of code and went to compile it. It compiled well, with no errors, until it got to the linking stage, where it gives me the error below:
--------------------------
Linking...
LINK : error LNK2020: unresolved token (0A00006C) ?m_lstColorSwapList@CTextureManager@@0V?$list@UTILE@@V?$allocator@UTILE@@@std@@@std@@A
LINK : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
--------------------------
Can someone help me?

looks like you forgot to link to a library.
that code you added, did it have an static library? .lib or .a? if so, you have to pass is to the linker.
A little bit of Googling seems to imply that most people fixed the problem by linking to msvcrt.lib.
Not sure if that's related to what you're doing, but its worth a shot.
EDIT: Yeah reread the error and Drew is right, and I doubt it has anything to do with the library I mentioned; more just that ur missing a lib in general.

class CTextureManager
{
// ...
// stuff
// ...
static std::list m_lstColorSwapList;
};
Your class looks pretty much like this right?
So in the file that implements CTextureManager, you need to add:
std::list CTextureManager::m_lstColorSwapList;
and link that in... so that the static member variable is defined somewhere.

Thanks Anonymous Poster.
This fixed it:
list <TILE> CTextureManager::m_lstColorSwapList;
I had forgotten to put the list in my .cpp file (I only had it in the .h). My other lists I remembered, but this one I forgot. It's annoying cause it gave me an error that makes you think my projects corrupt or something.
It's all sweet now anyway, thanks.
