C++ Unresolved symbol - c++

I just don't see where I went wrong.
The compiler complains about
Error 215 error LNK2001: Unresolved external symbol ""class std::vector<class std::basic_string<wchar_t,struct std::char_traits<wchar_t>,class std::allocator<wchar_t> >,class std::allocator<class std::basic_string<wchar_t,struct std::char_traits<wchar_t>,class std::allocator<wchar_t> > > > __cdecl splitW(class std::basic_string<wchar_t,struct std::char_traits<wchar_t>,class std::allocator<wchar_t> > &,class std::basic_string<wchar_t,struct std::char_traits<wchar_t>,class std::allocator<wchar_t> > const &)" (?splitW##YA?AV?$vector#V?$basic_string#_WU?$char_traits#_W#std##V?$allocator#_W#2##std##V?$allocator#V?$basic_string#_WU?$char_traits#_W#std##V?$allocator#_W#2##std###2##std##AAV?$basic_string#_WU?$char_traits#_W#std##V?$allocator#_W#2##2#ABV32##Z)".

But I don't see where I went wrong. Can somebody tell me how to analyze this error message? I get it quite often, but then again I never remember how I solved it.
Thank you very much!
This is my code in strhelper.cpp:
vector<wstring> splitW(const wstring& uMain, const wstring &uSplitBy)
{
vector<wstring>s;
int iStart=0;
for (;;)
{
int iPos=uMain.find(uSplitBy,iStart);
if (iPos==-1)
{
wstring s1;
s1 = uMain.substr(iStart,uMain.size() - iStart);
if (s1.size()>0)
{
s.push_back(s1);
}
break;
}
else
{
wstring s2;
s2 = uMain.substr(iStart,iPos-iStart);
s.push_back(s2);
iStart = iPos + 1;
}
}
return s;
}
And this is the part of the header that contains the declaration:
void replaceOnce(wstring& uText,const wstring& uSearchFor,const wstring& uReplaceWith,bool uTextCompare);
vector<wstring> splitW(wstring &str, const wstring &uSep);
vector<wstring> splitAToWVec(const string& uMain, const string& uSplitBy);
vector<string> splitAToAVec(const string& uMain, const string& uSplitBy);

The type of the 1st parameter of splitW() is declared as wstring& in header file but defined as const wstring& in source code. Please make them consistent.

Declaration:
vector<wstring> splitW( wstring& str, const wstring &uSep);
Definition:
vector<wstring> splitW(const wstring& uMain, const wstring &uSplitBy)

Embedding a parser from a separate translation unit into another parser

I am trying to reuse a parser (named parser1_rule) that I have isolated in a translation unit (unit1.h/unit1.cpp), into another parser (name trace_parser). However I get a warning and an error message (reproduced and reformated below for easier reading) stating more or less (this is my interpretation) that parser1_rule have not been defined (or instantiated) for the new context trace_context_t.
Indeed, in X3, rules have two template parameters: iterators and context. I thought when mixing two rules, one had to make sure they both use the same context and iterator's types. So I paid attention to use the same context for parser1_rule and trace_parser : context_type. The same goes for the iterator, as recalled in X3: Linker Error (unresolved external symbol “parse_rule”) on nonterminal parser
But it seams this is not the way to go ? Shall I move the rule's definitions into an hpp file (which I wish I can avoid).
I created a minimal reproducible example to help understanding the issue:

Unresolved external symbol in only a few methods (static or shared library)

This is driving me nuts, using MSVC14.1 I am making a library A to be used in another shared library B. It does not matter if the library A is static or shared, I always end up with 3 unresolved external symbols as such :
[build] GroomDeformer.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: static class avPoly::PolyMesh __cdecl avPoly::PolyMesh::create(class std::vector<struct glm::vec<3,float,0>,class std::allocator<struct glm::vec<3,float,0> > > const &,class std::vector<unsigned int,class std::allocator<unsigned int> > const &,class std::vector<unsigned __int64,class std::allocator<unsigned __int64> > const &)" (__imp_?create#PolyMesh#avPoly##SA?AV12#AEBV?$vector#U?$vec#$02M$0A##glm##V?$allocator#U?$vec#$02M$0A##glm###std###std##AEBV?$vector#IV?$allocator#I#std###4#AEBV?$vector#_KV?$allocator#_K#std###4##Z) referenced in function "public: void __cdecl avGroomCore::GroomDeformer::ConstructMesh(class std::vector<struct glm::vec<3,float,0>,class std::allocator<struct glm::vec<3,float,0> > > const &,class std::vector<unsigned __int64,class std::allocator<unsigned __int64> > const &,class std::vector<unsigned int,class std::allocator<unsigned int> > const &)" (?ConstructMesh#GroomDeformer#avGroomCore##QEAAXAEBV?$vector#U?$vec#$02M$0A##glm##V?$allocator#U?$vec#$02M$0A##glm###std###std##AEBV?$vector#_KV?$allocator#_K#std###4#AEBV?$vector#IV?$allocator#I#std###4##Z) [C:\Users\tufto\PycharmProjects\avgroom\build\src\core\Core.vcxproj]

I do not know what to do at this stage. I looked into the symbols from dumpbin and i do get the signatures, for example :
__imp_?create#PolyMesh#avPoly##SA?AV12#AEBV?$vector#U?$tvec3#M$0A##glm##V?$allocator#U?$tvec3#M$0A##glm###std###std##AEBV?$vector#IV?$allocator#I#std###4#AEBV?$vector#_KV?$allocator#_K#std###4##Z
The only thing i can notice is this has "tvec3" instead of just "vec" in the error signature. I think this refers to a typedef i have to GLM for library A such as :
typedef glm::vec3 Vector3;
typedef std::vector<Vector3> Vector3Array;
Any ideas or guidelines on how i could debug this ? I've tried all I can think off and can't put my finger on it. The worst part is that in the library A project i have another mini executable to test it that links just fine... (all using CMake). Both CMake configs are the same.
Here are the method signatures in the header file for these :
AVPOLYLIB_API
static PolyMesh create(Vector3Array const &positions, UIntArray const &faceVertexCounts, IndexArray const &faceVertexIndices);
AVPOLYLIB_API
FaceLocation getClosestLocation(Vector3 const &point);
AVPOLYLIB_API
Vector3 getAttributeValueFromLocation(FaceLocation const & location, Attribute<Vector3> &attribute);
DLL Export is done as follows :
#ifdef AVPOLYLIB_STATIC
#define AVPOLYLIB_API
#else
#ifdef AVPOLYLIB_EXPORTS
#define AVPOLYLIB_API __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define AVPOLYLIB_API __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
#endif
The types used in these methods are declared like this (inside the library namespace):
class FaceLocation {
public:
Index triangleId;
Vector3 barycentricCoordinates;
};
typedef std::vector<Vector3> Vector3Array;
typedef std::vector<Index> IndexArray;
typedef std::vector<unsigned int> UIntArray;
Solved it ! It was silly : there was a problem with the glm headers as they where submodules in both libraries but for some reason where not version matching. So i did have a wrong signature in the exported symbols. Using the headers in the same folder solved the issue.

Unable to link Boost libs to vs2010

I know this question has been asked a lot of times here. But after trying all the mentioned solutions I am still not able to Compile the Test Boost code.
I have followed the following Steps for installation :-
Unzip Boost into a new directory.
Start a 64-bit MSVC command prompt and change to the directory where Boost was unzipped.
Run: bootstrap
Run: b2 toolset=msvc-10.0 --build-type=complete --libdir=C:\Boost\lib\x64 architecture=x86 address-model=64 install
Add C:\Boost\include\boost-(version) to your include path in Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user property sheets.
Add C:\Boost\lib\x64 to your libs path in Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user property sheets.
Additionally, I have added the lib path in additional library directory.
I am trying to compile a standard code to test whether boost is working properly or not.
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
#include <boost/regex.hpp>
using namespace std;
struct Hello
{
Hello(){
cout << "Hello constructor" << endl;

cin.get();
}
};

return 0;
}

c++ error: referenced in function _main when reading a file

When I'm trying to read a file with a function
void readFile(string fileName, string* anArray) {
unsigned int lineCounter = 0;
ifstream inFile = ifstream(fileName);
while (!inFile.eof()) {
string fileLine;
inFile >> fileLine;
if (!fileLine.empty()) {
anArray[lineCounter] = fileLine;
++lineCounter;
}
}

I get the error below, which I assume is because of the pointer on the string array ?

This is the definition of a member function, but you forgot to write the class name.
void resource::readFile(string fileName, string* anArray) {
As you have it now, you've defined a new function in the global namespace that has nothing to do with resource, so when main tries to use resource::readFile, the definition cannot be found.

LNK2019 error while using IBPP in Firebreath project

So here's my problem. I'm writing web browser plugin in Firebreath. Plugin has to connect to different databases (Firebird, MS SQL, My SQL etc.) depending on client request. So I'm creating class to manage connection to right DB. To connect to Firebird I'm trying to use IBPP. I managed to connect to FB using IBPP in simple test project. But now when I'm doing something much more complex I've got this strange linker error LNK2019.
Exact error message is:

I'm googling for two days and still don't know what's the problem. I understand what LNK2019 error means but don't know why it occurs in this case.
The line that generate this error is:
this->db = IBPP::DatabaseFactory(this->machine, this->db_path, this->login, this->passwd);
Can anyone show me what's wrong?
Oh, and I'm using Visual Studio 2012 Express.
You are trying to access the method in the source for which you haven't provided the definition in the connection namespace , i.e
This method :
DatabaseFactory(this->machine, this->db_path, this->login, this->passwd);
Provide a definition for it in the connection namespace.
Write using namespace connections; in the source file.
