Thread: anyone used base64.h in a c++ program?

i am trying to convert username and password to base64 but for some reason i am getting a few compile errors, i think i have only the linux version of .base64.h and base64.cpp and not the windows one , can anyone help , TY

Code:

        string username = "myusername";
	string passwd = "mypassword";
	char src[100];
	char GetBuffer[100];
	sprintf(GetBuffer,"%s%c%c",username,':',passwd);
	char *Encoded = encode_base64(sizeof(GetBuffer),(unsigned char *)GetBuffer); //this function is in base64.cpp , the problem is its not compiling properly
