Error while running 'make'

Dear all:

I got this error (mentioned below) while compiling some source code. What is the cause and how do I correct it?

Code:

make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/deepu/Desktop/prozilla-2.0.4/libprozilla/src'
make[4]: Entering directory `/home/deepu/Desktop/prozilla-2.0.4/libprozilla'

The cause is that you have an error in that include (.h) file. What's the source code to? Have you checked that file?

Yes, I have installed Prozilla from source previously.

This is a problem with newer GNU C/C++ compilers. To solve it just edit the file src/download_win.h and strip out the class name before the method at line 55, that is

Code:

void DL_Window::print_status(download_t * download, int quiet_mode);

should be

Code:

void print_status(download_t * download, int quiet_mode);

Thanks. I am compiling. Will post back if I have problems.

Pro man! It worked

Thanks a lot.

that was helpful, thank you for posting the problem and many thanks for the solution.
But, why does this error occur? And what does it mean? And why are new C++ compiler buggy?
