error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol

[sadegh]

Hi

I have a problem with my program in VC++6
When I compile it, the following errors are listed. I spend a lot of
time on the groups.google.com to find its reason, but none of
comments
could not help me. Does any body know what is the problem?
By the way, I have already added the matrixop.h to AfxStd.h
the matrixop.h is a library that I have been written to doing matrix
operation. for example the MLength() function returns the size of a
matix.

Thanks.

In comp.lang.c++, Victor Bazarov gave you the following answer:

No, it's not the "library that contains these math classes". It's
the header that contains the definitions of the classes. The actual
implementation is most likely in a ".lib" file. You need to read the
documentation for your library and pay attention to what you need to
do with the .lib file, along with adding the header to your source.

This was excellent advice. Do not ignore it.
