drawWindow.cpp, contains the following
drawWindow::drawWindow(vizManager* passedPtr)
{
DRAW_topoFactory = new TOPO2D_Factory();
DRAW_raycaster = new TOPO2D_Raycaster(DRAW_topoFactory);
resetDrawWindow();
managerPtr = passedPtr;
} // end of drawWindow constructor
drawWindow::~drawWindow()
{
}

Within vizManager.cpp there is a call to create a drawWindow object through the line "drawWindow(this)". The vizManager.cpp file compiles perfectly fine but when it comes to linking with the line:
