Does not name a type error

[deathslice]

I'm using vectors in a class that creates different attributes for different types of units and I'm getting all kinds of errors like does not name a type, expected ',' or '....' before < token. If I use the include <vector> header file, the errors don't go away. If I combine the vector header file and add std to each vector, I get template argument 1 and 2 is invalid, string was not declared in this scope, suggestive alternative is std::string. If I use using namespace std, which I know I shouldn't, then I get undefined reference to window@86.

All of this is occurring in the SwordArmy header File.

main.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "SwordArmy.h"
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    // Weloming Message
    cout << "\t\tWelcome to my 2014 Combat Simulator. " << endl;

    // Introduction.
    cout << "\n\nFor a thousand years, the forces of evil have a laid seige";
    cout << " on the kingdom of \nThebel. Their campaign have been relentless";
    cout << " and ongoing throughout the ages.The victor of this";
    cout << " battle will be remembered in history and be declared as";
    cout << "King. The only question that remains is which side will";
    cout << "you be fighting for? " << endl << endl;

    string  fightingSide; // Prompting the user to pick a side

    cout << "\t\tPick a side!" << endl << endl;

    cout << "1.) Sword Keepers " << "     OR      " <<   "2.) The Nocturnes   ";
    getline(cin, fightingSide, '\n');

    // Checking for input validation.
    while(fightingSide != "Sword Keepers" && fightingSide != "The Nocturnes" )
    {
        cerr << "\nYou've entered a faction that doesn't exist in the game. ";
        getline(cin, fightingSide, '\n');
    }

    // A greeting from their faction.
    if(fightingSide == "Sword Keepers")
    {
        cout << "\n(Human Voice)--Now let us fight in jolly cooperation!!! ";
    }
    else if(fightingSide == "The Nocturnes")
    {
        cout << "\n(Grating Voice)-May you show the humans no mercy commander. ";
    }

    cout << endl;

    // Advice before the battle begins.
    cout << "\n\nBefore you can begin, you're going to need to assembly";
    cout << " your army. Each unit has different strengths and weaknesses.";
    cout << " Which means, you better pick wisely. ";

    cout << endl;

    vector<string> unitType; // The vector that contains every unit.

    SwordArmy army;
    army.setArmy(unitType);

    cout << endl;
 
    // If the user chose this faction.
    if(fightingSide == "Sword Keepers")
    {
        // Display their units.
        cout << "These are the units available for battle. " << endl << endl;
        for(unsigned int i=0; i<unitType.size(); i++)
        {
            cout << i+1 << ".) " << unitType[i] << endl;
        }

    }
    return 0; // Return zero if the program ran successful.
}

make your header self contained.
You are using std::string and std::vector in your header so you must #include <string> and #include <vector> in your header.
(also you need to qualify the namespace, like in std::vector)

> undefined reference to window@86.
perhaps you chose the wrong kind of project, try a console project instead

[deathslice]

I did that but I still get errors like string was not declared in scope, template argument 1 and 2 is invalid, vector has not been declared and it suggests that I use std::string on line 10.

I'm using codeblocks and I chose console application(always have).

[AbstractionAnon]

swordarmy.h line 10,12: using namespace std; hasn't been seen yet by the compiler, so as ne555 mentioned, you must qualify both vector and string by std::

  void setName(std::vector<std::string> &);
...
   std::vector<std::string> unitName;

[deathslice]

Yes, then we come to problem of having an undefined reference to WinMain@16.

I try to restart codeblocks(I've read that does the trick) and this is what I'm greeted with.

So the winmax@16 went away, but now I get 13 new errors. AWESOME!!!!

I finally fixed this. Though I'll probably be back in case I have problems implementing vectors in this program since I haven't worked with vectors that much.

[deathslice]

Now that those technical issues are fixed I can focus on setting each unit with different attribute points. If someone would like to work with me(because it does get boring doing this alone), message me.
