IssueTracker

I have been attempting to build a project in Android Studio on Windows 10 however I am now receiving a linker ere when it tries to link the main library file.

On both linux & mac setups, this is not an issue.
On windows I did NOT initially get the issue. It did not appear until after I had restarted windows. I.e. I still had 1.5 installed, I did an update and could build but hit an LLDB issue trying to run that I reported before so I had to uninstall and reinstall Android studio before I could run. That compiled and ran, however I had an unpushed commit elsewhere so I had to reboot to push it (dual boot OS, it was committed but not pushed in the other OS).

After trying various things (keep in mind, it still builds elsewhere) to the point of completely uninstalling & removing both AS (and any config) and my repo, I still couldn't resolve the problem. After bisecting my history, I was able to pinpoint a commit that is tripping whatever the problem is. The portion of that commit is an additional cpp file (TrailLibrary.cpp, not that it matters). The contents of the file do not matter (I deleted its contents and still had the issue), the mere existence is causing this issue.

The linker error is non-descriptive (by the way, what is the point of directing one to the log files if they contain the same stuff as is shown in the console window?):

I have also attached the error chunk from a build with the --stacktrace and --debug flags if that is helpful.

Sadly as it stands I have nothing additional to add.
