Linking error LNK2019 - GTest 1.7.0

[William Paiva]

Hi sirs,

My problem is: 

Every time I try to test a method that is defined in a .cpp file I get the following error:

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall utils::Utils::maskIP(char const *,char *)" (?maskIP@Utils@utils@@QAEXPBDPAD@Z) referenced in function "private: virtual void __thiscall UtilsTest_testMaskIP_Test::TestBody(void)" (?TestBody@UtilsTest_testMaskIP_Test@@EAEXXZ) C:\Users\william\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\UtilsTest\UtilsTest.obj

However, when I define the method as inline (within the .h file) the test runs ok. Where is my error?

My setup:

Visual Studio 2010

GTest 1.7.0

/MTd (both projects)

Test project with dependency to the main project

Test project with dependency libs GTests (gtestd.lib and gtest_maind.lib).

Best regards

It sounds like you forgot to link Utils.obj (or whatever it's called) into your test program.

The fact of I add a dependency of the main project wouldn't solve this?

That should solve it, if the .cpp and the .h agree on the exact definition of utils::Utils::maskIP.

Anyway, can you agree that your problem is not a googletest framework problem?

You're struggling with getting your linker to see your library somehow. Hard to diagnost remotely.

Good luck with it.
