Why is my class not working?!?!

[BlobOfFailure]

I'm currently working on a level editor for a game I've been working on, the System class for my editor is a singleton and has the buffer inside it (I'm using SDL btw), so inside my sprite class I reference the buffer and I get an error saying

error: 'System' has not been delclared

and it does it again for my getInstance function so I thought "Oh I must have not included the header, but I checked and at the top I have the right header included. Any ideas to what the problem could be?

System includes Sprite, and Sprite includes System...
use a forward declaration of one of those.. like so:

Code: Select all

//Sprite.h
#ifndef SPRITE_H_INCLUDED
#define SPRITE_H_INCLUDED
#include "TextureManager.h"
#include "System.h"

class System;

class Sprite {
public:

Thanks, that did the trick, it compiled right and is working now.
