error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol. Problem with linker in C++ is starting to give me gray hair.

Got this error message in the linker when I switched the project from statically linked to dynamically linked in the .Pro file:

StatusFacade.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "private: enum mgccis::status::dto::StatusRigMode::Status __thiscall mgccis::status::StatusFacade::RigModeStatusToDto(enum mgccis::status::RigModeReply::Status)" (?RigModeStatusToDto@StatusFacade@status@mgccis@@AAE?AW4Status@StatusRigMode@dto@23@W44RigModeReply@23@@Z) referenced in function "public: class QString __thiscall mgccis::status::StatusFacade::getStatus(void)" (?getStatus@StatusFacade@status@mgccis@@QAE?AVQString@@XZ)


I just uncommented this row:

#CONFIG += staticlib #Nessesary only when running unit tests :(

The solution was easy, I had forgotten to set the class name on the methods in the cpp file, an honest mistake to do:

mgccis::status::dto::StatusOverloadTest::Status OverloadTestStatusToDto(mgccis::status::OverloadTestReply::Status overloadTestStatus)

Should be:

mgccis::status::dto::StatusOverloadTest::Status StatusFacade::OverloadTestStatusToDto(mgccis::status::OverloadTestReply::Status overloadTestStatus)

Strange that the linker did not complain when I statically linked the project. :)
