I was using macports for a while, but it turned into a nightmare. Updates would help one program and crash the other and I never could count on programs to work after updates. I'm not trying to...

I've (tried to) talk to the Poppler people on IRC. They're not exactly tolerant of newbies still figuring things out. But one issue with Qt is that there isn't a Qt 5 wrapper for Poppler yet. ...

I know this is a newbie question and I don't mind doing more research, but I'd like to know what to work with. Right now I feel I could go in a dozen directions and I want to narrow that down so I...

Okay, I have a better grasp on just what's going on here - thanks to those responding to the question.

As to the other discussion that started - and is informative, consider the context of this...

Okay, so the single colon is similar to "extends" in Java? (I know I'm leaving out a lot of details - but is that the general quick summary?)

I'm sure I should know this, but I can't remember and can't find the answer. I'm well used to Java and Perl, which, of course, have quite a different syntax than C++. I'm embarrassed that I have to...

Thank you, everyone, for the help. This is a great thread for me because I not only got the problem solved quickly, but got a lot of other good advice and learned some useful things.

I think I was experimenting - I had looked at several examples and I remember seeing one doing it. Took it out on your advice.



Can I cast a vector to const byte* ? The routine I'm calling...

Neo1: Thanks - I think I remember reading that it makes a difference if I use new, but I had forgotten it (if I did read it). I guess that's just part of trying to learn a new language and absorb a...

I'm working with a simple program to test Crypto++ and so I can get used to using the library. It's not Crypto++ that is causing the errors, though.

I'll include the code at the end, but the...

Maybe I'm an idiot - or I could be just off for now as I get used to a new language - and C++ is rather challenging with all the syntax and pointer issues, but I must have missed something. Anyway,...

Thanks, Salem! Took me a while to step through that, since, when I was doing it, I wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing.

I can't be sure, but it seems, in the Eclipse configuration, that I...

Yes, I'd definitely have to do that - but it'll be a while before I know just how much space is involved and other issues. As of now, with my limited experience in C++, it'd be easier to just...

I don't know if I'm dealing with a total newbie problem, or if this is specific to Crypto++ or specific to Eclipse and the CDT, but I'd like to figure out how to build my project with Crypto++...

Let's just say I'm still getting used to pointers. (I worked with them in 65C02 Assembler in the 1980s, but haven't touched them in over 20 years.) So we won't go into the idiot newbie mistake...

Okay, I see - and it makes sense. I missed the obvious. Thank you, brewbuck.

So this is something I can't really declare until I create it with that statement?

I'm working step by step with simple things to make sure I'm getting C++ syntax correct (especially with namespaces, and pointers!).

I'm working with Poppler, a library for working with PDF files....

whiteflags: Distribution is no issue, since my work will be FOSS and will be posted on my blog site when I'm done - with executables and the source. In this case, I can follow the GPL. While...

It was an answer to a question on either StackExchange or StackOverflow. I lost the page and tried to find it again, but couldn't - I must have been using different search terms the 2nd time. But I...

I've worked a lot in Java and Perl and now I'm learning C++ and working on a simple e-reader (let's not get into why I'm not just using Kindle or other existing ones, please). This is for me and a...
