error explicit qualification in declaration???

Hi
I know how to write some c code but i didn't really started with c++
Now i downloaded the source code of a program that does face recognition,....

and while compiling I ran against a bunch of errors...
The best way to learn a language is to correct it... although it's easier to say this, than to do this..

Here it comes.... piece by piece

Code:

---

Libraries/mpisearch/src/ci.cc:44350: error: explicit qualification in declaration of ‘void ci::assignData(FeatureData&)’

---

What does it actually mean???
I can paste the code around these lines or I can give you the whole file, but as you see this is already at line 44350 :-D

What does it mean explicit qualification in declaration of ....???

it's allright I allready found the solution for this one...

On this site they gave the explanation

Re: [graphics-dev] gcc 4 : "explicit qualification in declaration" - Bjoern Milcke - org.openoffice.graphics.dev - MarkMail

Code:

The errors are related to the new version of gcc which is more strict than the previous versions. Have a look at the following page : http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Writing_correct_Cplusplus#Extra_Qualification

So, the code line 298 and 384 have to be changed :

StackMode DataSeriesHelper::getStackModeFromSeries( -> StackMode getStackModeFromSeries(

I've done the same taking away the ci:: and just left the void assignData(...

explicit (C++)

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately i'm not the expert... :-)

while the last one was explicit qualification of declaration, it's giving me an "extra qualification on member" now...

I've opened the header file and the .cc file but I don't really know what i got to do now.
I found a lot of things of "extra qualification on member" but not for this project...

what does this actually mean???

I don't know why, but I tried the same thing as with the explicit qulification...
to emit the first part with the :: and it seems to work.

I cannot in the least agree with this statement, especially not in C++. Compiler error messages are simply not up to guiding you towards the problem. To correct problems in real C++ programs, you need experience writing C++.
