    Compiler error

    Code:
    $ g++ -c -lX11 -I /usr/include/cairo -lcairo src/TopLevelWindow.cpp
    src/TopLevelWindow.cpp: In constructor ‘TopLevelWindow::TopLevelWindow(Application*, Dimension, std::string)’:
    src/TopLevelWindow.cpp:3: error: no matching function for call to ‘Widget::Widget()’
    src/Widget.h:18: note: candidates are: Widget::Widget(Widget*, Dimension, Dimension)
    src/Widget.h:9: note:                 Widget::Widget(const Widget&)
    I'm not quite sure what this means, but it looks to me that it's complaining that TopLevelWindow doesn't have the same constructors as its base class. How do I fix this?

    Probably because you are trying to make a Widget variable without to initialize it with don't with don't have a default constructor. Look up initialization lists
