An unresolved external is a symbol (function or data) that is used without being defined. Examples include
  • Calling a function that has not been implemented
  • Referencing a variable that has not been declared
  • Putting code in new source files but forgetting to add those source files to the build so they don't get compiled and linked
  • Calling a function from a third party library but not including the library in the link

I would say that you have done the 4th one of these
