When you declare and define a constructor, just leave out the return
type.  These are special functions that don't return anything in the
usual sense, and the compiler does all the work for you.  Instead of:

class Thingee
{
public:
  void Thingee(...);
};

void Thingee::Thingee(...)
{
}

leave out the void's:

class Thingee
{
public:
  Thingee(...);
};

Thingee::Thingee(...)
{
}
