Ownable() Declaration error

Question

Having problems compiling this contract I found.

import "https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin- 
solidity/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20Pausable.sol";

pragma solidity ^0.4.17;

contract MetaToken is Pausable{

string public name = 'MetaMetaMeta! Token';
uint8 public decimals = 8;
string public symbol = 'M3T';
string public version = '0.4.0';

uint256 public blockReward = 1 * (10**uint256(decimals));
uint32 public halvingInterval = 210000;
uint256 public blockNumber = 0; // how many blocks mined
uint256 public totalSupply = 0;
uint256 public target   = 0x0000ffff00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000; // i.e. difficulty. miner needs to find nonce, so that (hash(nonce+random) < target)
uint256 public powLimit = 0x0000ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff;
uint40 public lastMinedOn; // will be used to check how long did it take to mine
uint256 public randomness;

address public newContractAddress;

function MetaToken() Ownable() {
    lastMinedOn = uint40(block.timestamp);
    updateRandomness();
}

/// update randomness, will be used to find next Nonce

    require(checkMine(nonce));

    Mine(msg.sender, blockReward, uint40(block.timestamp) - uint40(lastMinedOn)); // issuing event to those who listens for it

    balances[msg.sender] += blockReward; // giving reward
    blockNumber += 1;
    totalSupply += blockReward; // increasing total supply
    updateRandomness();

    // difficulty retarget:
    var mul = (block.timestamp - lastMinedOn);
    if (mul > (60*2.5*2)) {
        mul = 60*2.5*2;
    }
    if (mul < (60*2.5/2)) {
        mul = 60*2.5/2;
    }
    target *= mul;
    target /= (60*2.5);

    if (target > powLimit) { // difficulty not lower than that
        target = powLimit;
    }

    lastMinedOn = uint40(block.timestamp); // tracking time to check how much PoW took in the future
    if (blockNumber % halvingInterval == 0) { // time to halve reward?
        blockReward /= 2;
        RewardHalved();
    }

    return true;
}

function setNewContractAddress(address newAddress) onlyOwner {
    newContractAddress = newAddress;
}

event Mine(address indexed _miner, uint256 _reward, uint40 _seconds);
event RewardHalved();

}

The error -

browser/test.sol:31:26: DeclarationError: Undeclared identifier.
    function MetaToken() Ownable() {
                         ^-----^

Answer 1

Ownable() is a contract to manage the ownership. You need to import that contract too. You can find it here.

Answer 2

Try removing the round brackets if Ownable is a modifier!

OR

Add Ownable modifier in Pausable contract and remove the round braces like this:

    function MetaToken() Ownable {

EDITED

Try this code instead:

pragma solidity ^0.4.17;
import "https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-solidity/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20Pausable.sol";

contract owned {
    address public owner;

    constructor () public {
        owner = msg.sender;
    }

    modifier onlyOwner {
        require(msg.sender == owner, "Only owner has the authority");
        _;
    }

    function transferOwnership(address newOwner) public onlyOwner {
        owner = newOwner;
    }
}
