Hi,
If you want to compile contentLister with c++ files, here is how to start. It is important that main() gets compiled with the c++ compiler...
1: make a working copy of contenLister
Code:
cp -r contentLister cppLister
cd cppLister
2: edit configure.ac as follows:
Code:
after the line 'AC_PROG_CC', add a line with 'AC_PROG_CXX'
Edit this line
Code:
< AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR(src/main.c)
> AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR(src/main.cpp)
3: goto the sources:
Code:
cd src
rm -rf .deps # necessary if you have compiled this stuff before
4: edit Makefile.am
Code:
< contentLister_SOURCES = main.c \
> contentLister_SOURCES = main.cpp \
5: convert main.c to main.cpp
mv main.c main.cpp
edit main.cpp as follows:
Code:
before the first #include add a line:
extern "C" {
just before main() add a line:
}; // end of extern "C"
6: use the official tools to generate a good Makefile (don't forget to set the right compiler environment with setup_build_env.sh or such)
Code:
cd ..
autoreconf --install --force
./configure --host=arm-linux --build=i686 --prefix=/usr --datadir=/usr/share
7 Compile everything
8: now you're ready to add C++ stuff
I hope this helps someone, took me a while to figure it all out...
Happy hacking!
Tip: If you forget some step, and get errors: restart from scratch (a clean copy
