Undefined Reference, Overloaded Operators, What?

This is for the same code as I mentioned in the earlier two questions. In this case, I need to figure out how to make a custom hash function so I can use the class as a key in an unordered_multimap. Note that Connector already has a valid hash function.

#ifndef VERTEX_H
#define VERTEX_H
#include <memory>
#include <unordered_set>

class Connector;

class Vertex
{
    public:
        Vertex();
        ~Vertex();
        Vertex(const Vertex& other);
        Vertex& operator=(const Vertex& other);
        std::unordered_set<Connector**> connection_set;
        unsigned int get_state() const {return state;}
        void set_state(unsigned int state) {this->state = state;}
    protected:
    private:
        unsigned int state;

};

#endif // VERTEX_H 


Now, the issue here is that there is nothing that I can actually use inside of this code that would work as a hash function, as far as I can tell- the connection_set unordered_set can be empty, and state will be the same across too many vertex objects. So what can I do for this?

If your vertices are fixed in memory you could use their addresses.

namespace std {
    template <>
        class hash<Vertex*>{
        public :
        size_t operator()(const Vertex &v ) const{
            return hash<Vertex*>()(v);
        }
    };
}


Like that?

Also, just realized that even if I make each vertex have a default connector to null pointers, the end result is that the whole thing breaks- the hash function for vertex calls the hash for connector, which calls the hash for a pointer to vertex... yeah, I think that would just get out of hand very, very quickly. Memory location makes much more sense.

Well, it would appear that I am now getting a particularly annoying error:
d:\codeblocks\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.7.1\include\c++\bits\stl_function.h|210|undefined reference to `Vertex::operator==(Vertex const&) const'|
in my attempt to overload operator== for Vertex. I have no idea how to fix this, or why it is even showing up. My code as of so far:

No, there is no main()- I have yet to get that far.

The inline keyword implies internal linkage. The operator== defined in Vertex.cpp will not be usable outside of that file. Either get rid of the inline or move the definition to the header file. My vote would be for the former.
Thanks! Go figure that it is always something little like that that keeps being the error in this code of a million pointers.
