namespace does not exist

when i compile this code i get 13 errors and 2 warnings, can someone point me where i am going wrong?

Code:

---

#include <tyfc.h>
#include "graphics.h"


namespace GL = GraphicsLibrary;

class MyApp : public TYFCApp {
public:
        MyApp() : TYFCApp("Graphics", 300, 200)
        {}
        void Initialize();
};
static MyApp app;

void MyApp::Initialize()
{
        static GL::Line<MyApp> line(app, 5, 5, 260, 160);
        addshape(line);
        static GL::Rectangle<MyApp> rect(app, 25, 30, 75, 100);
        addshape(rect);
        static GL::Circle<MyApp> circle(app, 200, 85, 60);
        addshape(circle);
}

Now the errors

Code:

I think the first error is making all the other erors happen.

make sure you have qualified GraphicsLibrary properly. It may be nested inside another namespace maybe. Hard to tell from what you have posted. Is namespace GraphicsLibrary properly declared in graphics.h?

here is graphics .h

Code:

---

#ifndef GRAPHICS_H
#define GRAPHICS_H
#include <shape.h>

class Line : public Shape  {
    int ex, ey;  // end point of line
public:
    Line(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2) :
                Shape(x1, y1), ex(x2), ey(y2)
    {  }
    virtual void draw();
};
class Rect : public Shape  {
    int height, width;
public:
    Rect(int x, int y, int ht, int wd) :
          Shape(x, y), height(ht), width(wd)
    {  }
    virtual void draw();
};
class Circle : public Shape  {
    int radius;
public:
    Circle(int x, int y, int rd) :
          Shape(x, y), radius(rd)
    {  }
    virtual void draw();
};
#endif

i dont see a GraphicsLibrary in it nowhere.im learning this out of a book, im all lost now lol.and when you say it might be inside another namespace, how would i go about finding that out?

unnested namespace

Code:

---

namespace unnested
{
  class empty {};
}

int main()
{
  unnested::empty obj;
  return 0;
}

---

nested namespace

Code:

---

namespace unnested
{
  class empty {};

  namespace nested
  {
      class empty {};
  }
}

int main()
{
  unnested::empty obj;
  unnested::nested::empty obj2;
  return 0;
}

Make sure that the book is specific to your compiler/graphics library.

Sorry if that's an obvious suggestion. I assume you know that there is no "standard" graphics.h

yes i know the graphics.h is not standard.i used the graphics.h off the cd-rom that came with it but used it with visual c++ instead of Quincy 99. didnt know the compiler would make that much differance.
