I'm working on an application with a GUI and I'm having trouble when trying to emit a signal (sig\_showList, from View) at the connect for another signal (signal\_changed, from Gtk::ComboBox), I'd really appreciate your help. The code looks something like this:

"view.h"

```
class View{
 private:
  Gtk::ComboBox* combo;
  sigc::signal<void,int> sig_showList;
 public:
  View();
  ...
};

```

"view.c"

```
#include "view.h"
View::View(Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::Builder>& builder){
 builder -> get_widget("combo",combo);
 combo->signal_changed().connect(sigc::mem_fun(&sig_showList,&sigc::signal<void,int>::emit));
 ...
}

```

I compile it with `g++ -std=c++98 *.cpp -o out $(pkg-config gtkmm-3.0 --cflags --libs)`. The error I'm getting is:

So well, I have no idea what that means! Moreover this had already happened and somehow I managed to solve it but after some reformat and redesign it showed up again and I don't know what to do. It definitely has to do with the combo->signal\_clicked().connect(...) line, because when I remove it compiles fine.
