first ever question here on SO in my numerous years of coding. I've recently started trying to get into C++ to work with cocos-2d-x for mobile development and have hit a wall pretty much immediately.
My new project comes with AppDelegate and HelloWorld classes, I've then added my own GameScene class which I've tried to instanciate from AppDelegate, however, every time I do this, I get an 'undefined error' message.
Here's the code I've got so far, as you can see, the code I've got in my GameScene.cpp file is just a copy-paste of the hello world file...which I can confirm does work.
GameScene.cpp
#include "GameScene.h"
USING_NS_CC;
cocos2d::Scene* GameScene::createScene()
{
// 'scene' is an autorelease object
auto scene = Scene::create();
// 'layer' is an autorelease object
auto layer = GameScene::create();
scene->addChild(layer);
return scene;
}
// on "init" you need to initialize your instance
bool GameScene::init()
{
//////////////////////////////
// 1. super init first
if ( !Layer::init() )
{
return false;
}
Size visibleSize = Director::getInstance()->getVisibleSize();
Vec2 origin = Director::getInstance()->getVisibleOrigin();
// add a label shows "Built on"
auto label = Label::createWithTTF("Built on", "fonts/Marker Felt.ttf", 24);
label->setPosition(Vec2(origin.x + visibleSize.width/2,
origin.y + visibleSize.height - label->getContentSize().height));
this->addChild(label, 1);
// add "HelloWorld" splash screen"
auto sprite = Sprite::create("HelloWorld.png");
sprite->setPosition(Vec2(visibleSize.width/2 + origin.x, visibleSize.height/2 + origin.y));
this->addChild(sprite, 0);
return true;
}

I've tried doing as much debugging as I can though am not really getting anywhere, although I am starting to suspect that possibly the GameScene.cpp file isn't being included in the compile...I put an error line ("blahblahblah;") in each file and the compiler didn't show anything about the error in GameScene.cpp. So if this is the problem, then how do I make sure it is included? I'm currently editing my code in Notepad++ and building by calling the build_native.py file which was created in the proj.android folder of my cocos project.
I've done some further hunting for answers on this and found this:
Adding cpp files to cocos2d-x project android project
Having added my GameScene.cpp file to the android.mk file, it is now compiling, therefore I'm going to mark this as resolved.
