typedef with a generic structure

[coder123]

I'm trying to make a generic linked list using a structure.

template<class T>
struct LinkedList
{
       T i;
       LinkedList *link;
};
          
typedef LinkedList* LinkedListPtr;

I'm using Dev-C++'s MinGW compiler. It keeps giving me this error:

expected init-declarator before '*' token
expected `,' or `;' before '*' token

You forget the template parameters.
LinkedList* is not a type, but LinkedList<something>* is

Hello, I edited my code to:

template<class T>
struct LinkedList
{
          T i;
          LinkedList<T> *link;
};
          
template<class T>
typedef LinkedList<T>* LinkedListPtr;

But the compiler outputs:

template declaration of `typedef struct LinkedList<T>*LinkedListPtr'

It didn't work when I tried doing this either:

typedef LinkedList<T>* LinkedListPtr<T>;

You can't template a typedef declaration.
What you can do :

template<class T>
struct LinkedList
{
          T i;
          LinkedList<T> *link;
          typedef LinkedList<T>* Ptr;
};

Thank you very much.
