Could you tell me what could cause LNK4042? I don't get where the object is specified multiple times. And I tried to google LNK2019, but all the topics I found were syntax issues. I checked everything I could find, but the code seems to be good (i'd be glad if it wasn't and you'd just point my mistake to me). Sometimes, when I do minor changes to the code the linker succeeds, but after several compilations it fails again. Also, before I added "clear" function it was working, I added this one little function, and it worked only once since then (before I added this function sometimes the linker did fail, but now it sometimes succeeds). I know there are other ways to implement singleton, but I have code similar to this, and it works fine. Thanks
Your build output shows that you somehow managed to force the compiler to actually compile d3d9_object.h file. This is completely unacceptable. You are not supposed to compile header files. Header files are supposed to be included into .cpp files, not compiled by themselves.
Because of that problem, your d3d9_object.h, after being force-fed to compiler, produces d3d9_object.obj file, which clobbers (overwrites) the proper d3d9_object.obj file obtained from d3d9_object.cpp. This leads to LNK4042 and further linker errors.
Don't attempt to compile d3d9_object.h. Find out how it managed to get compiled and fix the problem.
