Undefined reference with JsonBox functions

Question

I am trying to follow the penguin programmer text-based rpg guide (http://www.penguinprogrammer.co.uk/rpg-tutorial/introduction/). I am working on the item class and I am having some undefined reference errors with JsonBox functions.

#include "Item.hpp"
#include "Entity.hpp"
#include "JsonBox/include/JsonBox.h"
//#include "EntityManager.hpp"

Item::
Item(std::string _id, std::string _name, std::string _description)
  : Entity(_id) {
  this->SetName(_name);
  this->SetDescription(_description);
}

Item::
Item(std::string _id, JsonBox::Value& _v, EntityManager* _mgr)
  : Entity (_id) {
  this->Load(_v, _mgr);
}

void
Item::
Load(JsonBox::Value& _v, EntityManager* _mgr) {
  JsonBox::Object o = _v.getObject();
  this->SetName(o["name"].getString());
  this->SetDescription(o["description"].getString());

  return;
}

Then I am compiling this main.

//#include "EntityManager.cpp"
#include "Item.cpp"
#include "JsonBox/include/JsonBox.h"

int main() {

  return 0;
}

And getting this error

/tmp/cc1sZXwe.o: In function `Item::Load(JsonBox::Value&, EntityManager*)':

Inside your main you include Item.cpp source file, changing your main to this might help you:

//#include "EntityManager.cpp"
#include "Item.hpp"
#include "JsonBox/include/JsonBox.h"

int main() {

    return 0;
}

Including source files is usually a bad practice, and can cause many problems, you can read more about Including .cpp files
