So here's my problem. I'm writing web browser plugin in Firebreath. Plugin has to connect to different databases (Firebird, MS SQL, My SQL etc.) depending on client request. So I'm creating class to manage connection to right DB. To connect to Firebird I'm trying to use IBPP. I managed to connect to FB using IBPP in simple test project. But now when I'm doing something much more complex I've got this strange linker error LNK2019.
Exact error message is:
Error 2 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "class IBPP::Ptr<class IBPP::IDatabase>

Code for my connections looks like this:

I'm googling for two days and still don't know what's the problem. I understand what LNK2019 error means but don't know why it occurs in this case.
The line that generate this error is:
this->db = IBPP::DatabaseFactory(this->machine, this->db_path, this->login, this->passwd);
Can anyone show me what's wrong?
Oh, and I'm using Visual Studio 2012 Express.
