Linker Error - LNK2005

[AlexL]

I've just started to add in a menu system for my mini-project. I'm using the IEvent code from '5.UserInterface' though when I go to compile I get two errors with the linker. I've posted my IEvent code and the resaults from the compile below. Any help on this matter would be greatful.

Code: Select all

IrrlichtDevice *device = 0; //Place Holder
...
class eventReceiver : public IEventReceiver
{
public:
	virtual bool OnEvent(SEvent event)
	{
		if (event.EventType == EET_GUI_EVENT)
		{
			s32 id = event.GUIEvent.Caller -> getID();
			IGUIEnvironment* guienv = device -> getGUIEnvironment();

			switch(event.GUIEvent.EventType)
			{
			case EGET_BUTTON_CLICKED:
				if (id == 101)
				{
					//Finish Later
				}

				break;
			}
		}
		return false;
	}
};

Though if I am to take out the place holder device, I get these errors.

Don't need this.........

IGUIEnvironment* guienv = device -> getGUIEnvironment();
