You have added a wrong source file to your project. You need
any-simple-type-stl.cxx instead of any-simple-type.cxx. To make sure
you have correct files in your project, I suggest that you do the
following:

1. Using the same configuration (config.nmake) as you are using for
   your project file, run the nmake-based build and capture its
   output.

2. Make sure that your project file only contains source files that
   are presents in the above output.

As I mentioned in my earlier emails, there are ways to automate this.
The above steps are the simplest (though most laborious) way to makes
sure your project is correct.
