When I try to compile my project I get this:
Log is a logging class I have. And SdlWrapper is... well a wrapper for sdl. :P Other than that, I dont really know what wrong or where to look.
It sounds pretty straighforward to me. The linker says you didn't define your Log::Write(const std::string&) function.

But I did :P. Here it is:
void Log::Write(const string& logEntry){ if(screenWrite) { printf("%s\n", logEntry.c_str()); } if(fileWrite) { log_file << logEntry.c_str() << endl; }}
Somewhere, though, you should have it defined as a function prototype.
I don't know C++ (C only) so I don't know what the :: are - something to do with inheritance maybe - but you should have something like (overly complex example, so as to demonstrate the problem):
void Log::Write(const string& logEntry);
Somewhere, as a definition of the function. If it's external (won't be available to the C++ compiler, but will be to the linker - say an assembler function or something already compiled to object code) then you'll need something like:
extern void Log::Write(const string& logEntry);
As I say, I don't know C++ at all, so the syntax in terms of those :: might be different.
