codeblocks – C++ undefined reference to [email protected] (Code::Blocks)
I just had the exact same problem working with the exact same tutorials.
How to solve this?
I found that restarting CodeBlocks gets rid of this error. It has nothing to do with how you created the files or any of your syntax. A restart does the trick.
Why does this occur?
If I had to take a wild guess, I would think that CodeBlocks does indeed create the header/cpp files, it does not however link them to your project in a proper way that makes them usable (although it does ask you to link them to the project after you create them). This is a guess.
I understand that some people have commented on this by saying that youre creating a Windows GUI console application instead of a console application, but this is not the case. I too was creating a simple console application as Bucky explains in the videos.
Try this:
Settings->Compiler, click the tab Build options, select the checkbox
Explicitly add currently compiling files directory to compiler search dirs
P.S.
Next time when you create a new class, in the File policy section, make sure you select checkboxes
Add path to project
Header and implementation file shall be in same folder
However, do NOT select
Use relative path

Go to Project --> Build Options . . . on menu bar
Go to Linker Settings tab
In Link libraries panel, click Add
Write this in the coming up field: mingw32;libSDL.a;libSDLmain.a
Go to Search directories --> Linker tab
Add your MinGW library folders there! Good Luck!!
