Error: cannot call constructor - c++

Question

I have included new module to ns2 for evaluation of video transmission. I have make changes which are required to the some files like agent.h ,agent.cc, makefile and so on.
During make getting stuck with the error.
The error is:
myevalvid/myudp.cc: In member function ‘virtual void myUdpAgent::sendmsg(int, AppData*, const char*)’:
myevalvid/myudp.cc:56:123: warning: format ‘%d’ expects argument of type ‘int’, but argument 4 has type ‘long unsigned int’ [-Wformat]
myevalvid/myudp.cc:78:123: warning: format ‘%d’ expects argument of type ‘int’, but argument 4 has type ‘long unsigned int’ [-Wformat]
make: *** No rule to make target `myevalvid/myevalvid_sink.o ', needed by `ns'. Stop.
The code is
#include "myudp.h"

please help me to sort out the error.

As the error says, you can't call a constructor directly, as this line seems to be trying to do:
UdpAgent::UdpAgent();
You probably just want to remove that line. That constructor is already being called (implicitly) at the beginning of your constructor. You could put UdpAgent() at the start of the initialiser list, if you want to be explicit about it.
