I'm trying to do a program where I input 3 values which are stored in an object and a fourth value which I generate from 2 of the other values and I store that object into a vector.
That problem is that I'm getting an error from the generateSignature() function and I don't know what the problem is. I think it might have something to do with how I declare the header file and the other .cpp file since I haven't done a lot of programming involving these. So I'm asking to see if anyone can see anything wrong with what I have done so far.
The errors i'm getting is:
LNK2019 unresolved external symbol "class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > __cdecl generateSignature(class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >,class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >,class std::vector<struct Data,class std::allocator<struct Data> > &)" (?generateSignature@@YA?AV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@V12@0AAV?$vector@UData@@V?$allocator@UData@@@std@@@2@@Z) referenced in function _main    ProjektKurs C:\Users\Fredrik\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\ProjektKurs\ProjektKurs\ProjektKurs.obj
