Thread: Multiple definition issue when using static const

Hello, I defined this as a private member of my class:

Code:

static const Vec3f normals [7];

and then try to initialize it outside the class:

Code:

const Vec3f BVolume::normals [7] = {{1,0,0},{0,1,0},{0,0,1},{SQRT3_3,SQRT3_3,SQRT3_3},{-SQRT3_3,SQRT3_3,SQRT3_3},
{-SQRT3_3,-SQRT3_3,SQRT3_3},{SQRT3_3,-SQRT3_3,SQRT3_3}};

This in a header file. When trying to compile it, I receive three error messages like

Code:

/media/34GB/demos/asmfrt/TextManager.cpp|352|multiple definition of `BVolume::normals'|

Two of them at the end of classes. How it cn be solved?
