C++
/usr/libexec/gcc/PATH/4.0.1/ld: Undefined symbols: Something collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [program] Error 1
- if it is for a whole class, it could mean that in an abstract class, I didn't set a function declaration to 0
- if it is for a specific static field, it could mean that I forgot "ClassName::" on initializing it
- if a function is declared from another file but that file isn't included
- or forgot to comile the cpp file in make
/usr/libexec/gcc/path/ld: multiple definitions of symbol
- If there are too many copies of a file name in the makefile.
