Can't figure out this error

Austin J (398)
I'm using VS 2010. I keep getting

Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl printRaceGoblin(void)" (?printRaceGoblin@@YAXXZ) referenced in function "int __cdecl pRaceChoose(void)" (?pRaceChoose@@YAHXZ) C:\Users\Austin\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\Kingdom Borjek oyk Lok\Kingdom Borjek oyk Lok\PlayerChooseRace.obj
Error 2 error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals C:\Users\Austin\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\Kingdom Borjek oyk Lok\Debug\Kingdom Borjek oyk Lok.exe 1


From what I can tell it's getting confused about a function that isn't properly setup to be in other files? I can't seem to figure this out.

These are the source files that I think are relevant to post. It seems like it has a problem with my void function that prints info about the Goblin Race.

in PlayerChooseRace.h, you've got one function prototype :
int pChooseRace();
but in PlayerChooseRace.cpp, you've defined it as :
int pRaceChoose()

	cout << "of thought gives them a natural mastery of magic" << endl;

its just a spelling error printRaceGolbin should be printRaceGoblin
or its in playerRaceOptions.h since it was declared as
void printRaceGoblin();
take your pick its just a mismatch in spelling and one or the other needs to be switched.

Thank you so much! I really need to work on my debugging skills though, I feel kind of ashamed now. Do you know of any good articles on it?

my personal way of choice http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging
also just compile often so you can catch errors like this fast so you dont have to debug as much code at a time
