Hi,

I am trying to evaluate Aspose.Words for C++ in a console application. After adding references to include and lib folders and linking the libs, I am getting the following error:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol “protected: __cdecl Aspose::Words::Document::Document(bool)” (??0Document@Words@Aspose@@IEAA@_N@Z) referenced in function “class System::SmartPtr __cdecl System::MakeObject<class Aspose::Words::Document,char16_t const (&)[10]>(char16_t const (&)[10])” (??$MakeObject@VDocument@Words@Aspose@@AEAY09$$CB_S@System@@YA?AV?$SmartPtr@VDocument@Words@Aspose@@@0@AEAY09$$CB_S@Z) Aspose.Words for CPP D:\Aspose Works\Aspose.Words for CPP\Aspose.Words for CPP\Aspose.Words for CPP.obj 1

@codinggeek,

We will hopefully fix this issue (error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol) in the next version of Aspose.Words for C++ API. For now, you can use the following workaround:

Remove line 1269 Document(bool isLoadBlank); from include\Aspose.Words.Cpp\Model\Document\Document.h file

We will keep you posted here on any future updates and let you know when WORDSCPP-996 will be resolved.

@codinggeek,

It is to update you that the issue you had found earlier (filed as WORDSCPP-996) has now been fixed in this Aspose.Words for C++ 20.9 release.
