== VS Express Linkage Problems ==

If you are using Visual Studio Express 2005 and obtain linkage warnings involing libST functions that look like this:

{{{
Linking...
layout.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: class
STSceneNode * __thiscall STSceneNode::GetNext(void)"
(?GetNext@STSceneNode@@QAEPAV1@XZ) referenced in function "void
__cdecl destroyDrawables(class STSceneNode *)"
(?destroyDrawables@@YAXPAVSTSceneNode@@@Z)
layout.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: class
STSceneNode * __thiscall STSceneNode::GetFirstChild(void)"
(?GetFirstChild@STSceneNode@@QAEPAV1@XZ) referenced in function "void
__cdecl destroyDrawables(class STSceneNode *)"
}}}

It's probably because VS Express hasn't correctly loaded the libst library dependencies from our project/scolution files (all this works fine in the full blown version of Visual Studio).  You'll need add {{{libst.lib}}} as an additional dependency in your assignment3 project.

Go into the project properties > Linker > Input and adding
libst.lib to the list of 'Additional dependencies'.
