Are you sure all your pure virtual functions are defined in the
derived classes? The point with pure virtual functions is to
enforce the derived classes to have their own versions. (Defining
the base member empty, ie { }, not = 0, makes a default function
to fall back on when the member functions is missing in the
derived class.)
What sucks with the error message is DJGPP is that it doesn't say
_which_ virtual function is missing, so you have to look around
a bit.
