Linking Issue with error: (undefined reference to `vtable for ***)

[Yaser M]

Dear Sir, 

I am facing the problem that after I clean mixim project that contains veins folder an error starts to appear. The error appears at most of the c++ files telling that these classes are not defined. however they are already defined since I didn't change anything in the mixim file yet!

I am running the simulation on OMNET++ 4.2, windows 7, all veins tutorial steps have been followed exactly. the simulation was running before then I cleaned the project because of a new routing protocol I added and then I rebuilt it then the problem started to appear. I re-installed the whole thing and the problem still appearing. I migrated to OMNET++ 4.2.2 and it still the same.

A message on the consoles appears when I try to start the veins simulation as follow:
