function not declared in this scope

forfor (5)
So, I'm making game frameworks for my own amusement, and I've hit a snag that I can't figure out. There are three functions that as far as I can tell are perfectly formatted, and which I am correctly calling upon. And yet the compiler is telling me they don't exist. The exact error is "function not declared in this scope" for two of the three. The other one is "no 'void Mc::changeXP(double)' member function declared in class Mc."

Specifically, the problem functions are:
-setStartStats(lots of stuff here);
-changeXP(double value);
-checkDeath();

edit: here are the precise error codes.
8 40 C:\Users\forre\Desktop\Coding\Projects\Misc\Relearning\Main Character.cpp [Error] 'setStartStats' was not declared in this scope

21 31 C:\Users\forre\Desktop\Coding\Projects\Misc\Relearning\Main Character.cpp [Error] no 'void Mc::changeXP(double)' member function declared in class 'Mc'

66 13 C:\Users\forre\Desktop\Coding\Projects\Misc\Relearning\Main Character.cpp [Error] 'checkDeath' was not declared in this scope

69 124 C:\Users\forre\Desktop\Coding\Projects\Misc\Relearning\Main Character.cpp [Error] no 'void Mc::setStartStats(double, double, double, double, double, double, double, double)' member function declared in class 'Mc'

the dubExponents function is a math thing from the "Run Power Of" file that I haven't fully implemented, but I've already confirmed it wasn't related by removing it, and the include it was coming from.

Post a link to the full code (or PM me a link) and I'll have a look at it.

You shouldn't be "including" your source file, you should instead add it to your project.

Since the OP failed to post the full error messages (the ones which include the filenames), my guess is that
#include "Run Power Of.cpp"
is the source of the beef.

Run Power Of.cpp has nothing to do with anything. It's the source file for dubExponents which I already eliminated as a possibility by removing both it and the include. I also switched to Run Power Of.h (made the .h file, properly tied it together with the relevant cpp file, changed the include, etc) and that didn't change anything either.

And this basically is the entire code so far. The only other file in the project besides these two and the "Run Power Of" files is int main, and I haven't really touched it outside of making it. The only thing in int main is the most basic possible hello world function to test the compiler before I dove in.

Then all I can think is that it's a problem with my compiler because you basically just copy-pasted my code into a different compiler and it worked perfectly.

That's what I get for using dev-cpp off an old memory stick because I was feeling nostalgic I guess XD

confirmed, it's my compiler. I copy pasted the code into a different header file and now it works properly. Sorry to waste everyone's time XD
