VS 2008 error C2059 and C2238

closed account (j2y5fSEw)
I'm trying to port a C++/openGL/SDL/Boost project that was developed on linux to windows 7 with VS 2008.　
I've solved a lot of compile error and various other things VS C++ compiler complained about but I'm kind of stuck on this one.

I get error code C2059 and C2238. The actual error messages are:

Here is ViewFrustum.h

I'm kind of confused why a pointer to Plane class would cause this kind of error. I've tried Googling with no luck.
If anyone has any idea why this is, please let me know.
If you need more code posted, please let me know.

Which lines are 37, 38 ? Surely not the comments..

Oops my bad, 37-38 are the following lines:
1
2
 
      Plane* bottom;
      Plane* left;


Fixed the original post so that this is reflected.

Fixed the problem, posted here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6086383/vs-2008-c-error-c2059-and-c2238

Basically, I just had to change the variable names far and near because it's used by Windows.h

That's weird. I took your code, wrote the necessary declarations/definitions (the ones in your other headers) and it compiled fine..
