Hello all,

Background: I am new to compiling programs.

I was asked to compile an X.lib file to be used on Solaris 9 and be compatible with C++ 5.5 patch 113817-19.

From my research C++ 5.5 came with Sun Studio 8. I do not have access to Sun Studio 8 therefore would it be possible to compile this using gcc 3.4.6? Or could I download and install Sun Studio 11, the newest version and compile this program?

In either case can someone give me general guidelines on how to go about compiling this lib. I was given two files:

X.cpp
X.h

I appreciate any information.

Thanks.

I couldn't understand what you say. Can you explained in detail ?

When I do a g++ x.cpp I get this:

x.cpp:1:20: StdAfx.h: No such file or directory
In file included from x.cpp:2:
./x.h:8: error: using-declaration for non-member at class scope
./x.h:8: error: expected `;' before "Encrypt"
./x.h:9: error: using-declaration for non-member at class scope
./x.h:9: error: expected `;' before "Decrypt"
In file included from x.cpp:2:
./x.h:10:3: warning: no newline at end of file
x.cpp:13: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before
"x"
x.cpp:37: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before
"x"

Are you compiling in text mode ?

I suggest you compile in a IDE environment because i also a linux user but normally i will compile at Eclipse. What distribution you are using ? You can ask this question in linux forum and post the answer in this forum.

Thanks.

What GGC version are you using ? My compiler always no newline at the end of file.

I hope this will help others.

I am using gcc version 3.4.6.

I am using Solaris 9.

currently I don't have and IDE to compile this program in. Could I compile without the IDE environment?

Thanks.

So, this code is apparently being ported from Visual C++ (hence the StdAfx error). There may or may not have been important stuff in StdAfx.h, but can you post all of X.cpp and X.h so we can look for the other errors?

Here are the two files. From what I know now is that this program may have been written as you said in Visual C++ and now they need it compiled in Solaris 9. Is this possible?

#pragma once

class StdEncryption
{
public:
StdEncryption(void);
~StdEncryption(void);
std::string Encrypt(std::string privateKey, std::string decryptedStr);
std::string Decrypt(std::string privateKey, std::string encryptedStr);
};

StdEncryption.h:

StdEncryption.cpp (or StdEncryption.C or StdEncryption.cxx or whatever convention your installation likes for C++ source files)


Should compile with any standard C++ compiler installation. Ready for testing/debugging.

Dave

Hello cornsnap. can you explain a bit what do this program acts?

Are you wrote the program ?

Thanks.
