DirectX shader linking error - c++11

Question

I recently heard about shader linking in DirectX, and decided to give it a go, following this MSDN tutorial, and seem to have it mostly working. However, it fails in the link stage, giving the error:
error X9214: ID3D11Linker::Link: failed to generate byte code
I get the same error for both the vertex shader and the pixel shader. Compiling the shader library, creating the graph, connecting the nodes and everything seems to work, but the linking still fails. I've been unable to find any details regarding the error code, and the error message isn't particularly helpful. The full relevant code is attached, I hope that someone can see what I'm doing wrong!
Linking.hlsl:
Texture2DArray inTexture : register(t0);
SamplerState samplerState : register(s0);
cbuffer CameraData : register(b0)
{
float4x4 Model;
float4x4 View;
float4x4 Projection;
};
export void VertexFunction(inout float4 position, inout float2 uv)
{
position = mul(position, Model);
position = mul(position, View);
position = mul(position, Projection);
}
export float4 SampleTexture(float2 uv)
{
return inTexture.Sample(samplerState, float3(uv,0));
}
