base template class can't be constructed

I have the following template base class:

template <class K>
class Base
{
protected:
    Base(int tableSize) : m_tableSize(tableSize) {}
    int doBaseWork(const K& data);
private:
    int m_tableSize;
};

And this template class inherits it:

template <class K>
class Derived : public Base<K>
{
public:
    Derived (int tableSize) : Base(tableSize){}
private:
    int doDerivedWork();
};

Then somewhere in the code i use:

Derived<int> testDerived(10);

When compiling with gcc i get the following error

class 'Derived<K>' does not have any field named 'Base'

What am i doing wrong? it seems like gcc thinks i'm trying to initialize a member, but i'm just trying to initialize base.

You should write template parameters 

Base<K>(tableSize)
