Question

This question already has answers here:
What is an undefined reference/unresolved external symbol error and how do I fix it?

Closed 7 years ago.
I have read the model answer on unresolved externals and found it to be incredibly useful and have got it down to just these last two stubborn errors which are beyond me.
I've attached all the code just in case, if you would like to see the headers or anything else please say.

I get these error messages:
LNK2019 unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl Output(void)" (?Output##YAXXZ) referenced in function _main Stokes
LNK2019 unresolved external symbol "double * __cdecl dvector(long,long)" (?dvector##YAPANJJ#Z) referenced in function _main Stokes
I have checked everything on the list given to try and find where these errors are coming from and have whittled it down to just these two left.
Things tried so far:
Checking basic syntax
Checking and ensuring correct headers are available
Looked at external dependencies (but i don't really know what i'm doing here)
Looked at the solutions tried here but none worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Unresolved External Symbols means that your code can't find the definition of the method or class you're trying to use. This usually means one (or more) of several things has happened:
You didn't point to the directory that contains the object library (.lib on Windows, .so on Linux) for the library you're using
You forgot to specify in the linker that you need to use the library in question (that list of kernel32.lib, user32.lib,... needs to include the name of the library you're using)
The library you're trying to use is meant to be linked statically and you're trying to link it dynamically (or vise-versa). Check the documentation for the library and make sure you're using the correct form. Some libraries expect extra #define statements to be included or omitted depending on whether you're linking statically or dynamically.
You changed build options and forgot to update the libraries in the other build options. If you're set to Release or x64, check to make sure that your build options are set correctly in all environments.
EDIT: I'll also corroborate what the others said in the original comment thread: make sure that the code that defines Output() and dvector() are being linked to by your code.
There's a few other options, but those are the big ones that happen most frequently.
