C++ Noob needs help with classes

[Luke]

Hi
I'm more or less a Noob at C++. I read 2 or three books on C++ years ago and, If one can say this about oneself, I'm a pro at PHP, but now I'm having troubles with a simple object; Here's the code of "menuitem.c"

Code: Select all

class MainMenuItem
{
public:
    Image* icon;
    char label[16];
    int x, y;
    int textoffsetTop, textoffsetLeft;

    MainMenuItem(char pLabel, Image* pIcon)
    {
        label = pLabel;
        icon = pIcon;
    }
}

which I include in main.c with #include "menuitem.c".

The compiler tells me

In file included from main.c:17:
menuitem.c:1: error: syntax error before 'MainMenuItem'
menuitem.c:2: error: syntax error before '{' token
menuitem.c:10: warning: return type defaults to 'int'
menuitem.c: In function 'MainMenuItem':
menuitem.c:11: error: incompatible types in assignment
menuitem.c:12: error: 'icon' undeclared (first use in this function)
menuitem.c:12: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
menuitem.c:12: error: for each function it appears in.)
menuitem.c: At top level:
menuitem.c:14: error: syntax error before '}' token
make: *** [main.o] Error 1

Can anyone help me out?

Building your source as C++ instead of plain C would probably help a lot. (Hint: .cpp instead of .c)

[Luke]

I did that. Now I get these errors:

Code: Select all

These are basically all functions I used

Hi I am a noob also but maybe this link helps. I guess you are using the graphics.c library for the functions and that is still c and not c++, i don't know if it is possible to combine them i have never done that but the way to do this is this (i hope :S)

PS have you included all the neccesary libraries in the makefile?

[Luke]

i don't know if it is possible to combine them

yeah, that kinda seems to be the point :/... I think I'll stick to plain C then...

Thank you

#include "callbacks.h"
#include "framebuffer.h"
#include "graphics.h"

class MainMenuItem
{
public:
MainMenuItem(char pLabel, Image* pIcon)
{
label = pLabel;
icon = pIcon;
};

private:
mage* icon;
char label[16];
int x, y;
int textoffsetTop, textoffsetLeft;

}; //semicolon

[danzel]

You need a semicolon ; at the end of your class definition:

class MainMenuItem
{
public:
MainMenuItem(char pLabel, Image* pIcon)
{
label = pLabel;
icon = pIcon;
};

private:
mage* icon;
char label[16];
int x, y;
int textoffsetTop, textoffsetLeft;

};
^There
HTH. :)
