I know it sounds an unlikely workaround, but it solved a similar problem I
had. Hopefully it will for you, too.

You simply place the implementation of your member function, Parse, in a
header file called, say, configparser_parse.h, instead of the CPP file you
say it currently resides in, and then write '#include
"configparser_parse.h"' at the bottom of the header file containing the
class definition (but within its inclusion guard). With luck, the linker
stops complaining.

Here's a link to a page that provides a bit more information:
