Strange error, any ideas?

Error 2 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > const * __thiscall NLMISC::CStringMapper::localMap(class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > const &)" (?localMap@CStringMapper@NLMISC@QAEPBV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@V?$allocator@D@2@std@ABV34@Z) referenced in function "public: static class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > const * __cdecl NLMISC::CStringMapper::map(class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > const &)" (?map@CStringMapper@NLMISC@SAPBV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@V?$allocator@D@2@std@ABV34@Z) C:\Ryzom-Build\Client-Parts\VS-Projects\Client - Ryzom Core Client\nel_drv_dsound_win_r.lib(buffer_dsound.obj)

I have 2 instances of Ryzom source I am dealing with. This error comes only after everything builds fine but the client exe.
If I use the lib from the other instance that builds fine this will build and no errors.

I am changing the structure and folder layout and have gone through it all quite well to make sure things match.
I only get this error on the dsound and direct3d when the client goes to make the exe.
They build fine by themselves with no errors at all.

I also recopied the source and headers from the working instance and made sure the only things changed were includes.
Still gives these errors only these 2.

Looks like, you're trying to link DirectSound driver will a different rev NelMisc.
Clean NeLMisc and DirectSound and rebuild.

Thanks for the reply, I am trying an experiment with restructuring the folder layouts for an easier time in an experiment I am trying to work on.
I figured maybe I got some includes out of order or it is pulling NLMISC from the wrong spot first due to my folder/includes being not what the base of the code expects.

What I have done so far a clean rebuild won't do it. I have to track down where it might be pulling NLMISC from that should not be. (If that makes sense).
I am still learning C++ and so far have done well, till this blunder.

Figured it out, user error. I'll leave this up incase another noob coder messes up like this.

I had to remake a few of the projects due to accidentally removing the wrong ones. Apparently the UUIDs didn't match up or something.
As well as I think I mixed up some of the Sound include pointers in some of the headers.

I redid all my work making very careful I didn't remove the wrong ones and all is well.

I don't know how you're progressing but
remember that the solution/projects are generated by CMake.
So if you want to change something you should change CMake config
instead of changing the solution/projects.

I am working on a compeletly different angle than the server/client is at the moment.
For now windows only based so I removed cmake for this.

Restructuring the folder layouts etc...
I do have the original source as well, that I leave the structure intact.
I eventually plan to take on some of the "to dos" here as well.
Figure this has given me a great base for a game idea I had long ago, so I may as well...
Pay my dues and contribute back.

I have no issue combing through and fixing typos and using Google translate.
Otherwise mundane and boring tasks I tend to have no issue doing if I have the time.

Also I am considering an attempt of porting this to C#.
So as simple as I can get it before hand will help greatly.

I am fairly low to medium skilled in code so I am looking at this project as a self teaching tool.
So far I have learned much more in a few years than I could ever have any other way.
Not a classroom and text book learner.
