c++: issue with main()? - a function-declaration is not allowed here before '{' token

I'm getting two compile errors:

/home/sater/projects/MotionManager/videoProcess.cpp:11:1: error: a function-definition is not allowed here before ‘{’ token
/home/sater/projects/MotionManager/main.cpp:85:1: error: expected ‘}’ at end of input

I checked to make sure that all parentheses and brackets were matched, but can't find the root of this problem. Could you please take a look at my code to see if I'm misunderstanding something? I'm new to c++ and am coming from mostly web programming and scripting experience but I'm a learn by doing sort of person so please excuse any mistakes due to not having "read my book" because I don't have one. A simple explanation or link to more information about my failure would be helpful.

It seems like there must be some problem in the way I call the processVideoFile function, but I can't figure out what I did wrong. Thanks for spending the time to take a look.

The main definition seems correct, so there has to be an error in one of the included files. Including a .cpp file is not recommended practice, btw., and not doing that makes these kinds of errors much easier to debug.

As larsmans suggests, this is caused by some stale definition on the previous headers. Try removing them and leaving just one of them to see which one introduces the error. Also, another trick could be to use cpp directly to produce just one big file, and then edit it into an editor with syntax highlighting to see where you're missing a bracket, etc.:

cpp -Iinclude_dirs main.cpp > output_file.cpp

It seems like you have forgot to put ; after a class declaration somewhere, or forgot to put a matching }. The error is most likely in one of your header files that you haven't shown.

Where is the header <deque> included?

Also, can you put the other two files you are including, in particular the resumepause.cpp file
