Now i have searched the threads for a while and have found similar problems but no answers that really help so here is my question and hopefully i can get a clearer answer here. I have created a class header and I have run into 6 errors with the header about missing items. Also i got this out of "Sams teach yourself C++" and i have been looking at the example in the book and it matches just about exact i just obmited a few enters and cant seem to find the problem any help would be appreciated
thanks David

You need end the declaration of the class with a semi-colon ";"
class cCat
{
/ ... /
}; // <- here

ok now that i got that problem solved i got a problem with the file that i am using it in and when looking at the compile log for this one i get lost i can see where the problem is occurring but i don't know how to interpret it can some one give me a hint please. I know this one is long but the file is located at the bottom.

Again thanks for the help guys and BiT thanks thats the little push that I needed. But the whole complier log thing is Greek to me i don't even know where to brake it down. I mean i can see where it says the line that it occurs on but when it gets to the technical information I might as well try reading Russian or something that I have no idea about. So could you tell me what some of it means or is it in the Read this first forum and i just passed over it?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
the first 2 lines(at least how it is displayed here) tell you what the error was
G:\Dev-Cpp\works\classCatBowser.cpp:35: error: no match for 'operator<<' in 'std::operator<< with _Traits = std::char_traits<char>, ((const char*)"Bowser is a cat who is ")) << Bowser.cCat::getAge' <--- telling you this is the problem
everything else after that is a result of that error.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
so let me see if i got this the main gut of the line that you pulled out is the line "G:\Dev-Cpp\works\classCatBowser.cpp:35: error:" which is 35 and the end "Bowser.cCat::getAge" which tells which variable has a problem, or do i have to wait with trial and error before i finally comprehend the compile log like learning math or another language(even though this is a language in and of itself...)

Pardon me for pointing out the elephant in teh room, but waht is your header file doing in "/../../../../include/c++/3.4.2/backward/" !?
Don't put your project header files in the system header folders - that way lies madness! Put it with your project. If you wish to separate headers and sources, create a private folder and ass a -I<path> switch to the project options.
More forgiveable but still problematic is putting the project itself in a subfolder of the Dev-Cpp installation folder. For some bizarre reason on occasions (and by no means on every occasion) Dev-C++ builds fail is strange ways when you do that. Apart from that it is just a bad ideal all-round to 'pollute' the tool installation with your own files - imagine what will happen if you have to reinstall or upgrade or build your project on a different machine.

Now I swear I corrected ass->add, but I guess the evidence is against me. And as for the other typo's - well, it's later here ;-)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Lol well I understood what your where saying and I get where you are coming from so I just moved a few things around so now they are out of the parent folder. but i would never have to try to build my project on another machine because I installed the program on my removable hard drive for that vary purpose(unless, like usual, I am wrong of course).

Thanks a bunch i dint even realize that.. first time working with classes so i dint even know about that thanks again.
ok now that i got that problem solved i got a problem with the file that i am using it in and when looking at the compile log for this one i get lost i can see where the problem is occurring but i don't know how to interpret it can some one give me a hint please.

Again thanks for the help guys and BiT thanks thats the little push that I needed. But the whole complier log thing is Greek to me i don't even know where to brake it down. I mean i can see where it says the line that it occurs on but when it gets to the technical information I might as well try reading Russian or something that I have no idea about. So could you tell me what some of it means or is it in the Read this first forum and i just passed over it?
the first 2 lines(at least how it is displayed here) tell you what the error was
G:\Dev-Cpp\works\classCatBowser.cpp:35: error: no match for 'operator<<' in 'std::operator<< with _Traits = std::char_traits<char>, ((const char*)"Bowser is a cat who is ")) << Bowser.cCat::getAge' <--- telling you this is the problem
everything else after that is a result of that error.
so let me see if i got this the main gut of the line that you pulled out is the line "G:\Dev-Cpp\works\classCatBowser.cpp:35: error:" which is 35 and the end "Bowser.cCat::getAge" which tells which variable has a problem, or do i have to wait with trial and error before i finally comprehend the compile log like learning math or another language(even though this is a language in and of itself...)
Pardon me for pointing out the elephant in teh room, but waht is your header file doing in "/../../../../include/c++/3.4.2/backward/" !?
Don't put your project header files in the system header folders - that way lies madness! Put it with your project. If you wish to separate headers and sources, create a private folder and ass a -I<path> switch to the project options.
More forgiveable but still problematic is putting the project itself in a subfolder of the Dev-Cpp installation folder. For some bizarre reason on occasions (and by no means on every occasion) Dev-C++ builds fail is strange ways when you do that. Apart from that it is just a bad ideal all-round to 'pollute' the tool installation with your own files - imagine what will happen if you have to reinstall or upgrade or build your project on a different machine.

Now I swear I corrected ass->add, but I guess the evidence is against me. And as for the other typo's - well, it's later here ;-)
Lol well I understood what your where saying and I get where you are coming from so I just moved a few things around so now they are out of the parent folder. but i would never have to try to build my project on another machine because I installed the program on my removable hard drive for that vary purpose(unless, like usual, I am wrong of course).
Installing Dev-C++ on a removable drive does not by itself make it portable. See: http://sourceforge.net/projects/devcpp-portable
