Illustrator CS3 Linker Problems

Question

I'm Trying to add a menu to my plugin
AIErr error = kNoErr;
const char* label = "Sign Thing"; 
char* name = "Sign";AIPlatformAddMenuItemDataUS MenuName;
MenuName.groupName = (
const char*)kEditMenuGroup;sUnicode->Initialize(MenuName.itemText,label,
sizeof(label),kAIPlatformCharacterEncoding);error = sMenu->AddMenuItem(message->d.self,NULL,MenuName,kMenuItemNoOptions,&g->signMenuHandle);
if(!error){ 
//error = sMenu->AddMenuGroup(name,kMenuGroupAddAboveNearGroup,kHelpMenuGroup,&g->signGroupHandle);
//error - sMenu->AddMenuGroupAsSubMenu(name,kMenuGroupAddAboveNearGroup,kHelpMenuGroup,&g->signGrou pHandle);
return error;
Im getting Linker errors from use of the AIUnicodeString class. I've seen in the forums that I need to include AIUnicodeString.cpp, which I have. Now I'm getting other linker errors.
SignPlugin.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _sAIUnicodeString
1>SignPlugin.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _sSPBlocks
1>..\Plugin\SignPlugin.aip : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
Any help would be great,
Thanks in advance.

I already had Unicode added, just added SSPBlocks with the same result.
