I am a n00b at this, can anyone tell me what I need to do to fix this error code?

Arduino: 1.8.1 (Mac OS X), Board: "LinkIt ONE"

Warning: platform.txt from core 'MediaTek ARM7 EJ-S (32-bits) Boards' contains deprecated recipe.ar.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd}" {compiler.ar.flags} "{build.path}/{archive_file}" "{object_file}", automatically converted to recipe.ar.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd}" {compiler.ar.flags} "{archive_file_path}" "{object_file}". Consider upgrading this core.

Why do you have this?

You do know for every { you need a }

I'm trying my best to follow a tutorial to track a car or vehicle. This was the code I found in the tutorial. I'm super new to C++. Obviously, haha.

If I take it out, it gives the same error. I also don't know enough about the code just yet to know if I need to place a "value" in there, or what the value would be... please help this desperate n00b! :frowning:

This is the tutorial I'm following:
https://docs.labs.mediatek.com/resource/linkit-one/en/tutorials/car-tracker#CarTracker-classGPSWaypoint

That error's there in the tutorial the OP linked to. Here's their code (example 2), copied verbatim:

#include "GPSWaypoint.h"
GPSWaypoint::GPSWaypoint()
{
}

GPSWaypoint::~GPSWaypoint()
{
}	~GPSWaypoint();
};

In the downloadable version of the code, available from mediatek's Github, it looks like this:

 #include "GPSWaypoint.h"


GPSWaypoint::GPSWaypoint()
{
}


GPSWaypoint::~GPSWaypoint()
{
}

Which looks much more sensible.

Just a friendly bit of advice: this is a pretty complex project for someone so new to C++. My advice is to take a few steps back, start with something easier, build up the skills incrementally.
