Question

Here is my header file for Board:

#import "Game.h"
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface Board : UIView
{
    enum Piece;
}

- (void) setGame: (Game*) theGame; //<-- this is where the error is
typedef enum {X, O, NONE} Piece;
- (float)getSection;
@end

The compiler says “Expected a type” and has (Game*) underlined. What is the problem here?

Game.h:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "Board.h"

@interface Game : UIViewController

- (void)boardwasTapped:(int) row:(int) column;

@end

Answer 1

Don’t import your header, but forward declare it. Import the Game header in Board.m

@class Game;

@interface Board : UIView {
...
}
...
@end

Also, are you sure the problem isn’t with your enum? You are using it in your header before you declare it. You should declare it above (outside) the @interface block.
