Unknown type name class

c++, forward-declaration

Solution

This error? `error: unknown type name ‘class’`

You're probably compiling it as C rather than C++.

Make sure your source file has a `.cpp` extension, and than any relevant compiler flags are set correctly. (It helps if you include the exact error message and line numbers. Don't try and retype, just cut+paste.)

Problem

I have the following header files: https://gist.github.com/wemakeweb/5501443 and the compiler always reports "Unknown Type name Class". I have included Forward Declaration, to break circular including , where i think i have to. What did i forget? Edit: i put it all in one header file, and the compiler still reports "expected ; after top level declarator" https://gist.github.com/wemakeweb/5583500 Edit 2 Now im getting linker errors. "Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64" Solved, Problems were - Circular Including - main.c instead of main.cpp - the actual code was in a static lib which was not linked properly
