"Linker Error" problem with C++
Hi, guys. I just recently bought a new programming book called "Beginning Game Programming." The first major project to do in the book is to create a simple Game Engine. In the book, it is broken up into two seperate files: GameEngine.cpp and GameEngine.h. Well, I aside from a few errors in the books code I finally got it to almost compile properly in Dev-C++. The only problem I am having now is I have 9 "Linker error"s. I don't have any idea of what these are or how to fix them. Any help would be great.
Here are the errors:
[Linker error] undefined reference to `GameInitialize(HINSTANCE__*)'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `GameCycle()'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `GameEnd()'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `GameStart(HWND__*)'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `GameActivate(HWND__*)'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `GameDeactivate(HWND__*)'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `GamePaint(HDC__*)'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `GameEnd()'
ld returned 1 exit status
Here is the source code for both files:

BOOL GetSleep() { return m_bSleep; };

};
#endif
So, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
