Unknown Typename when declared in header - c++

For some odd reason I recieve unknown type name for a typedef void variable located in a header file. Naturally i searched around the net and while it can be noted that I found similar issues it should also be noted that I am not using an IDE only Vim and Clang and don't have precompiled headers. In a separate test for the ctrie_int header, everything compiles but when I extend the implementation adding its header to the implementation file of another header I get the weird error seen below. I'm sure its a simple issue but i'm not sure what it is, any suggestions?

The clue is in the first stages of the error message:

It appears that the file ctrie_int.ii is being included from your header before Trie_Int has been defined.

Typedef not a member of namespace

So, I'm attempting to fork some open source code and upon compilation I am greeted with these errors:
C2039 'TransactionId': is not a member of 'CryptoNote'
C2061 syntax error: identifier 'TransactionId'
I'm relatively inexperienced with C++ usually confining myself to the realms of C#, however, I can clearly see that TransactionId is a typedef declared in a different file like so:
namespace CryptoNote {
typedef size_t TransactionId;
typedef size_t TransferId;
//more code
And the line throwing the error is:
void sendTransactionCompleted(CryptoNote::TransactionId _id, bool _error, const QString& _error_text);
To my inexperienced eyes, that looks as though TransactionID is definitly a member of Cryptonote is it not?
Any ideas what's going on?
The repo is here: https://github.com/hughesjs/Incendium_GUI
And the necessary submodule is here: https://github.com/hughesjs/Incendium_Crypt
Those typedefs are defined in Incendium_Crypt/include/IWalletLegacy.h.
void sendTransactionCompleted(CryptoNote::TransactionId _id, bool _error, const QString& _error_text);`
is defined in Incendium_GUI/src/gui/SendFrame.h, which includes IWallet.h. However, IWallet.h does not in turn include IWalletLegacy.h. Hence, those typedefs are unknown to SendFrame.h.
It's difficult to say without seeing all the code but a few things come to mind:
Firstly is this the first error you get. Compilation errors with C++ tend to result in a bunch of secondary errors. For example the following results in a similar error to what you see but fails to compile because size_t has not been defined:
namespace CryptoNote {
typedef size_t TransactionId;
typedef size_t TransferId;
}
int main(void)
{
CryptoNote::TransactionId id;
return 0;
}
$ g++ -std=c++11 namespace.cxx -o namespace
namespace.cxx:4:9: error: ‘size_t’ does not name a type
typedef size_t TransactionId;
^~~~~~
namespace.cxx:5:9: error: ‘size_t’ does not name a type
typedef size_t TransferId;
^~~~~~
namespace.cxx: In function ‘int main()’:
namespace.cxx:11:17: error: ‘TransactionId’ is not a member of ‘CryptoNote’
CryptoNote::TransactionId id;
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
See http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstring/size_t/ for a list of headers that define size_t.
Is CryptoNote nested inside another namespace?
Is there another CryptoNote defined in the namespace your function is declared in?
Are these in the same header file? If not, is the header file where the namespace is defined included in the header file containing the function declaration?

Problem description
I compiled TensorFlow source code for Python & C++ API bindings following the steps shown in http://www.blitzblit.com/2017/06/11/creating-tensorflow-c-headers-and-libraries/ (We have to take into account that this tutorial is not updated). After compiling the TF source code I include the TF library in the C++ project:
#include <tensorflow/core/public/session.h>
Finally, I compile the C++ project (Until here everything seems fine). Then, when I try to launch the C++ code I get the following message:
/Applications/CLion.app/Contents/bin/cmake/bin/cmake --build /Users/arcadillanzacarmona/Desktop/FaceSDK/ cmake-build-debug --target FaceSDK -- -j 2

Can anyone help me? Seems that the main problem is in the google/protobuf.
The problem is that gif_lib.h and that protobuf header file are incompatible. More specifically, the problem is that gif_lib.h uses the preprocessor to define a macro called VoidPtr, and then the protobuf header uses VoidPtr as an identifier. The fault firmly lays with gif_lib, not protobuf! Preprocessor macros, by convention, are usually uppercase, should include the library name, and should be avoided entirely if possible (in this case, wouldn't a typedef have done?).
Here are some possible workarounds:
Include the protobuf header (or something that includes it, like a TensorFlow header) before the gif_lib.h one (or, again, something that includes it).
After including gif_lib.h, write #undef VoidPtr on a separate line (but this might cause other mysterious problems, depending on how gif_lib.h is implemented.
Do not #include those both of those two headers from any one of your files; hide them behind your own interfaces.
File a bug with whoever wrote gif_lib and get them to stop using the proprocessor in such a dangerous way.
Use a better designed library in place of gif_lib.
I had the similar issue which is solved by changing compiler and using a different version of C++(i.e. from clang to g++-5, g++-7, etc.). I suggest that you can try to solve it in this way. Sorry for not able to give a direct solution.
For the error about nsync_cv, alc1218's solution on this post may help, which is changing the file mutex.h as follows:

Re-declaration of cmath functions in CUDA's math_functions.h

Should I include any other header or define any macro before “cuda_runtime.h”?
You should never import math_functions.h into plain host code, and with g++ 4.8.5, I get an #error generated from within the header file if I try to do so. If you import cuda_runtime.h into your host code correctly, it will never import math_functions.h incorrectly:

Why are you compiling vertex.hh? Why not just
g++ vertex.cc
Secondly, can you show us the contents of your header file and source file. Actually, the source file can probably be:
#include "vertex.hh"
int main() { return 0; }
and the header file:
#include "svl/SVL.h"
Secondly, when you say "#include " are you just including some of SVL internal headers? That may not work. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ajw/doc/svl.html says "for basic use, the only header file needed is svl/SVL.h".

Variable has incomplete type in class definition?

I've got this class definition in a .h file, and the implementation in a .cpp file. When I try to compile this, the header file gives some errors and warnings:
/home/don/BerthaApex/apex/src/lib/apexmain/apexloader.h:6: error: variable 'APEX_EXPORT ApexLoader' has initializer but incomplete type
class APEX_EXPORT ApexLoader
^
/home/don/BerthaApex/apex/src/lib/apexmain/apexloader.h:6: warning: extended initializer lists only available with -std=c++11 or -std=gnu++11 [enabled by default]
/home/don/BerthaApex/apex/src/lib/apexmain/apexloader.h:9: error: expected primary-expression before 'public'
public:
The code in which this error occurs is:
#ifndef _APEXLOADER_H
#define _APEXLOADER_H
#include "global.h"
class APEX_EXPORT ApexLoader
{
public:
int Load( int argc, char *argv[]);
};
#endif
With the "class APEX_EXPORT ApexLoader" being the line with the error and the warning.
The APEX_EXPORT is defined in a header file that is included from this same file.
EDIT:
The APEX_EXPORT is defined in "global.h" as follows:
#ifdef APEX_MAKEDLL
#define APEX_EXPORT APEX_EXPORT_DECL
#else
#define APEX_EXPORT APEX_IMPORT_DECL
#endif
Does anyone know why these errors are there? And how can I get rid of them?
Thank you in advance!
Compiler: gcc 4.8.4
OS: Ubuntu 14.04
My psychic debugging skills tell me that APEX_EXPORT isn't #defined and thus the compiler thinks you're trying to declare a variable of that type.
If you think you've included all the right headers the best way to go is to just run the preprocessor on your source file and see what it generates (for example g++ -E).
