Update

It appears you are using the following library:

Ensure that you are linking to the appropriate library object for your platform, as mentioned here in another answer. There is a linux version, a windows version, and a jar for java dev. Ensure you have included the right one in your linker settings. For example, here is how we would do this in eclipse.

Original Answer*

"unresolved external symbol" would suggest that in your project you're requiring and or using classes linked to some library that you are not properly including in your project. Whatever IDE you're using OR in your makefiles, ensure that you have properly included any library files required for your project.
