How to find the "real" error?

Question

I am having an enormous amount of errors showing up in the error list of the program, but none of the ones listed seem to be "real" errors. Some of the lines are red and then when I go to highlight over them the error disappears. I just can't seem to find where my error really is. What is the best process to go through to find my mistake?

Below is the error list in case that is helpful.

Answer 1

Probably a missing ; after the closing } of a class / struct. Could you post some code?

UPDATE: The code compiles now on my gcc. The problem I found is that you have a circular dependency between your classes. So solve this, forward declare some of them in the headers. I added class Faction; before class Socialite in Socialite.h and class Socialite; before class Faction in Faction.h.

Answer 2

Unexpected end of file is usually that you are missing a closing "something", such as a bracket } or parenthesis )
