LNK2019 problems

[walsht]

I'm trying to make a linked list available to all my classes that need
to be able to access the list. I've made a header file Main.h (contents
below) that is being included in the relavent files. When I compile
with VC 2005 I get the following error.

1>------ Build started: Project: Backend, Configuration: Debug Win32

The contents of Main.h :

extern LinkedList<Message** EmailMessages;

The contents of Main.cpp:
#include "Main.h"
#include "LinkedList.h"
#include "Message.h"

int main()
{
LinkedList<Message** EmailMessages = new LinkedList<Message*>();
//extern LinkedList<Message*EmailMessages;
return 0;
}
Any suggestions?

LinkedList<Message** EmailMessages;//changes here

int main()
{

EmailMessages = new LinkedList<Message*>(); //notices changes here

//extern LinkedList<Message*EmailMessages;
return 0;
}
Any suggestions?

You have to declare EmailMessages as a global variable in order to match
the extern linkage.

It made no changes to the error message.

In Main.cpp outside of the main() function add this line:

LinkedList<Message*>* EmailMessages = NULL;

If I woke up looking like that I know I'd run at
the nearest living thing I saw, and kill it.

You forgot to include LinkedList.cpp in your project?
