[Dev-C++] Using Templates & Constructors

[w0rldd0m <dg...@wo...>]

Hi,
 
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. 
 
Im trying to use a template class and I keep making mistakes. So now I am
trying to create an isolated case, but its still broke.
Please can anyone help me solve this? Here are the compiler errors that I
get:
 
_______________
 \myFolder\myClass.cpp In constructor `myClass<Type>::myClass(const Type&)':

7 \myFolder\myClass.cpp syntax error before `;' token 
\myFolder\Makefile.win [Build Error]  [myClass.o] Error 1 
_______________
 
Here is my main.cpp code:
_______________
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "myClass.h"
 
using namespace std;
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  myClass<int> test(5);
  
  system("PAUSE"); 
  return 0;
}
__________________
 
Here is my myClass.h code:
__________________
#include <iostream>
#ifndef H_MYCLASS
#define H_MYCLASS
 
template<class Type>
class myClass
{
public:
    //Default Constructor
    myClass(const Type &item);
protected:        
    Type count;
};            
#endif
_____________________
 
Lastly, here is my myClass.cpp code:
_____________________
#include <iostream>
#include "myClass.h"
 
template<class Type>
myClass<Type>::myClass(const Type &item) //default constructor
{
  count = new Type item;
}
