Linked List of struct

I am creating a linked list which links a struct of data together. However, this is my problem, if I declare struct Node first then the Event type wont exist, but if I declare struct Event first then nodePtr wont exist....im kinda stuck here as to how I should declare them.

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. struct Event
  2. {
  3.        void addEvent();
  4.  
  5.        tm startTime, endTime;
  6.        string eventItem;
  7.        string eventNotes;
  8.        char allDay;
  9.        nodePtr head, tail;
  10.  
  11. };
  12.  
  13.  
  14. struct Node
  15. {
  16.        Event eventNode;
  17.        Node *next;
  18. };
  19.  
  20. typedef Node* nodePtr;

Not sure of what you want to accomplish here. This piece of info might help getting the same results using a different method.

ok what im trying to do have a list of Events (which are actually a struct type containning data such as time date etc). And my problem as can be seen above is that I do not know how to resolve their declarations. I cant declare struct Event first because it contains pointers to the next Event struct. And I cant declare struct Node first because the node is of Event type.

Maybe, you confused the functionality of Event struct and Node struct.

There are two ways to reach you objective.
First,
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. struct EventNode
  2. {
  3.   tm startTime, endTime;
  4.   string eventItem;
  5.   string eventNotes;
  6.   char allDay;
  7.  
  8.   EventNode* next;
  9. };
  10.  
  11. struct EventList
  12. {
  13.   void addEvent();
  14.   ... // other member functions used to sustain the list 
  15. private:
  16.   EventNode* head;
  17.   EventNode* tail;
  18. };

another way use the list of STL to store the event.

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. struct Event
  2. {
  3.   tm startTime, endTime;
  4.   string eventItem;
  5.   string eventNotes;
  6.   char allDay;
  7. };
  8.  
  9. std::list<Event> eventList;
