I would have created a class, say CGlobals, which all of your program can
include using an extern statement.

Then place all of your global variables within that class. Then you can
also do any special initialisation and clean up if needed using the CGlobals
constructor and destructor.

This also cleans up any linker errors. :-)

My guess is that you haven't actually defined the global variables anywhere,
but you just happened to have an 'int count' defined somewhere. Check for
where you've actually defined all of the variables.
