Good morning

I'm trying to use a Graphics package that was originally developed for Visual C++, Borland, and COdeWarrior (unfortunately, my Dev-C++ compiler does not fit that description). I get an error that says

ISO C++ forbids declaration of `IteratorRef' with no type

in the following line (line 216):
IteratorRef<Shape> * makeIterator();

Can someone explain to me what this error means? I could post the entire header file if that helps, but I have also attached it so that it doesnt clutter up the board. Thanks

It does not appear to be recognizing the type Shape...where is the definition of Shape declared and defined (sorry, I don't often work with graphics packages)?

[dragonlady]

The header file for the Shape class (called shapes.h) is located in the same folder with canavs.h (the original file that I attached). However, I just noticed that there doesn't seem to be a shapes.cpp. Could that be the problem?

Thanks

Mm, as long as the shape class is defined (even if it doesn't do anything) there should not be a problem using it as a template type.

edit:

I took a look at shapes.h, and yeah, everything is laid out there like a proper header file but there is no implementation (I'm assuming it goes into a shapes.cpp). Still, you shouldn't be getting that error when using it as a template type (I think?).

It actually looks like shapes.cpp was not included when I downloaded the graphics package. I redownloaded the package and searched the developer's website, with no results. I am going to contact one of the developers to see if shapes.cpp is available. Thanks for replying
