C++ virtual override function linker errors

Question

Base class = Shape

Derived class = Point

The goal is to create a Draw() function in Shape and declare it virtual, then override the function in Point. I am stuck on linker errors and don't understand why.

//shape.h

#ifndef SHAPE_H
#define SHAPE_H
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

namespace James

    namespace CAD
    {
        class Shape

        public:
            Shape();    //default constructor
            virtual ~Shape();    //destructor
            Shape(const Shape& s);    //copy constructor
            Shape& operator = (const Shape& source);    //assignment operator
            virtual string ToString() const;    //returns id as a string
            friend ostream& operator << (ostream& os, const Shape& sh);    //global function that can access private members
            int ID() const;
            virtual void Draw() const;
        };

        inline int Shape::ID() const    //retrieve ID of shape
            {
                return m_id;
            }
    }
}

Answer 1

In shape.cpp, you are using scope resolution operator with Shape class. It should be on point class

//Point.cpp

    void Point::Draw() const
    {
        cout << "point drawing" << endl;
    }

Answer 2

You did not implement Point::Draw (also you have two different implementation for Shape::Draw):

//Point.cpp

void Shape::Draw() const
{
  cout << "point drawing" << endl;
}

This should be:

//Point.cpp

void Point::Draw() const
{
  cout << "point drawing" << endl;
}
