I'm also getting this error. Auburn doesn't explicitly say how to link the library using visual studio.

Are you compiling the FastNoise 2 source your self or using the pre compiled binaries from one of the releases?

I've tried both and still get linker errors. If you want I can go into further detail on how I compiled FastNoise 2 and/or used the pre compiled binaries.

You should be linking to FastNoise.lib in your visual studio project. Also make sure you are using the headers from the same FastNoise 2 version as the lib file was built using

I'm using Unreal Engine 4 and following their examples on how to link third party libraries. After I have compiled FastNoise2 I linked FastNoise.lib to my project and have added include paths for the headers - the same version as the library. There must be something else?

Added info on including the lib, https://github.com/Auburn/FastNoise2/wiki/Including-the-library-in-your-project.

I was able to resolve this myself in this way:

// FastNoise_Config.h
-#define FASTNOISE_USE_SHARED_PTR false
+#define FASTNOISE_USE_SHARED_PTR true

// The only place I #include FastNoise
#define FASTNOISE_STATIC_LIB
#include <FastNoise/FastNoise.h>

I was using UnrealCMake to compile FastNoise from source.

@connorjak was your link errors the same as above?

Its likely better to link as a static lib since the plugin for UE4 will already be a dll.

Yes exactly the same errors
