Yes, try http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lit...t.html#faq-5.8

However, the error is fairly clear. You are trying to call a member
function X. You must have an object to call X on, e.g.

either

T obj;
obj.X();

or

T *obj = new T;
obj->X();

Since I doubt that you are making a T::X() call directly in your code, I
suspect you have a static member function in T, and are trying to call
X() from within it. Won't work. A static member function doesn't have
a this pointer, so you still need a pointer to, a reference to, or an
actual T object to call X() on.

The place in your code where you attempt to call a class member function
without an instance of the class?
