Thread: accessing structure pointer problem

Hi, just wondering how I can assign the member of the "struct tm" to an integer? I tried doing the following, but get the error message "dereferencing pointer to incomplete type". when I do line 5 to line 8. Thanks in advance.

Code:

  int hour,sec,min;
  time_t now;
  struct tm *tm_now;
  now=time(NULL):
  tm_now=localtime(&now);
  hour=tm_now->tm_hour; /* starting here  */
  min=tm_now->tm_min;
  sec=tm_now->tm_sec;
