Often you'll see something of the kind when you have a pointer to a
struct, 
but you're pretending it's a struct.

time_t tt = time(NULL);
struct tm *ptr = localtime(&tt);

Minute = ptr.tm_min; /* error - ptr is not a struct, but a pointer */

Minute = ptr->tm_min; /* a fix */

Of course, this is really just a guess, and the exact fix may differ, 
depending on your code (which I can't see).
