Default Compiler Error

I am getting this error on compile "expected unqualified-id at end of
input".

Here is the block of code that generates the error:

/* Proxy unmountSource I/O */
/* Method unmountSource */
void unmountSource(string theSource)
{
string source = theSource;
string unmount = "unmount ";
string unmountFull = unmount + source;
string rmdir = "rmdir ";
string rmdirFull = rmdir + source;
system(unmountFull.c_str());
system(rmdirFull.c_str());
}
/* EMethod */
/* EProxy */

Compiler points to the line that has the end curly brace. Any ideas or
at least what the error means?

There's nothing wrong with the above, assuming string is an alias for
std::string, so the error is somewhere else.

Post a minimal compilable example that demonstrates your problem.

Here is the full code (its fairly short):

/*

* Will allow user to install game to directory of choice
*/


#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>


using namespace std;

class install
{
/*void mountSource(string);
string getDestination();
void checkDesExists(string);
void createDest(string);
void installGame(string, string);
void unmountSource(string); */

/* Proxy Main Logic */
/* Method Main */
int main()
{

string destination;
string source = "/mnt/TrafficKing";

cout<<"Preparing to install Train TrafficKing..." << "/n" << "You must
have root privileges to install this game." << "/n" << "If you do NOT
have root privileges, please contact your System Administrator." << "/
n" ;

mountSource(source);
destination = getDestination();
createDest(destination);
installGame(source, destination);
unmountSource(source);
cout << "Thank you for installing Train TrafficKing";
}
/* EMethod */
/* EProxy */

/* Proxy mountSource I/O */
/* Method mountSource */
void mountSource(string theSource)
{

string mkdir = "mkdir ";
string source = theSource;
string mkdirFull = mkdir + source;
string mount = "mount /dev/cdrom -t 9660 ";
string mountFull = mount + source;
system(mkdirFull.c_str());
system(mountFull.c_str());
}

/* Method getDestination */
string getDestination()

cout<< "Please enter a destination to install Train TrafficKing";
cin >destination;
return destination;
}
/* EMethod */
/* EProxy */



/* Proxy createDest I/O */

void createDest(string theDestination)
{
string destination = theDestination;

system(copyFull.c_str());

/* End Installer */
}

Missing return.
Quote:
/* End Installer */
}

Missing semicolon.

What follows is not a class:

class A
{
}

But this is:

class A
{
};

You should
#include <string>
if you plan to use std::string and pass it by reference to functions
or you'll end up invoking std::string copy ctor unneccessarily. Not to
mention that you'ld be modifying a local only.

void foo( std::string& r_s ) // or const std::string&
{
// do stuff with r_s
}

All of the above is basic, fundamental, unavoidable, required
knowledge.
