Why won't code from this tutorial work?

Calibrohawk (4)
I've been following a tutorial series by MakingGamesWithBen and have had no issues so far other than pointers not working. This is probably because he uses the Win32 platform and I'm on the x64 platform. Problem is I have no clue how to fix the issues with the pointers because I'm still trying to understand them. I'm almost certain I followed the video 100%. So what is the issue?

The errors I spot at first glance are the missing parentheses that are necessary in order to call the functions on line 17 in Source.cpp and on line 58 in DialogueTree.cpp.

 
 
int rv = dialogueTree.performDialogue();
