  • 0

I wish I could ask “What libraries do i need to link” but it’s quite specific (wwise engine integration), so I need help in working it out myself. The problem occurs when I attempt to create a variable of a type defined in a header file (compiler finds the header no problem). I get 22 linker errors but I don’t understand the read out, could someone walk me through it and tell me precisely which symbol is missing so I can figure out what libraries I’m missing? and could it be anything other than a library not linking? Wwise comes with a demo project that compiles but doesnt link to any more libraries than I do.

Here are 5 of the errors. I’m using visual studio.

1>main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: enum AKRESULT __thiscall CAkDefaultIOHookBlocking::Init(struct AkDeviceSettings const &,bool)" (?Init@CAkDefaultIOHookBlocking@@QAE?AW4AKRESULT@@ABUAkDeviceSettings@@_N@Z) referenced in function "bool __cdecl InitSoundEngine(void)" (?InitSoundEngine@@YA_NXZ)
1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual void __thiscall CAkDefaultIOHookBlocking::GetDeviceDesc(struct AkDeviceDesc &)" (?GetDeviceDesc@CAkDefaultIOHookBlocking@@UAEXAAUAkDeviceDesc@@@Z)

    The symbols are:

    enum AKRESULT CAkDefaultIOHookBlocking::Init(struct AkDeviceSettings const &,bool)
virtual void CAkDefaultIOHookBlocking::GetDeviceDesc(struct AkDeviceDesc &)
virtual unsigned long CAkDefaultIOHookBlocking::GetDeviceData(void)
virtual enum AKRESULT CAkDefaultIOHookBlocking::Read(struct AkFileDesc &,struct AkIoHeuristics const &,void *,struct AkIOTransferInfo &)
virtual enum AKRESULT CAkDefaultIOHookBlocking::Write(struct AkFileDesc &,struct AkIoHeuristics const &,void *,struct AkIOTransferInfo &)

    As far as I can tell, you only have the header that declares the class CAkDefaultIOHookBlocking, which means that you attempt to use any of the above symbols you’ll need to link against the library.

    Wwise comes with a demo project that compiles but doesnt link to any more libraries than I do.

    Either the symbols aren’t used, or the source files that defines those symbols is compiled in that project – http://gmwwise.googlecode.com/svn-history/r2/trunk/GMWwise/wwise/AkDefaultIOHookBlocking.cpp
