restrict is C keyword, not C++. I think you should not include them in .pro but make additional Makefile (manually) which will call C compiler for base64 library and link it in your .pro file.

Hi Denis,

Thanks for the quick reply. Can you please give me an example of how to link a manual makefile to a pro file? Also i thought the #ifdef __cplusplus section would stop any compiler issues?

Thanks again

Why a base64 library? Qt can de/encode base64 all by itself (QByteArray::fromBase64 and toBase64).

You can add it as custom target to PRE_TARGETDEPS variable I think.

Hi Toby,
Thanks for the reply, that class is part of the source of a library that I am trying to use. It builds fine when running a normal gcc session from the command line so I was a bit surprised when I run into the issue. I’m not a c++ expert by any stretch ,just learning as I go along, but if I understand what you are suggesting it means that I have to go through the whole library replacing the instances of base64 calls with the QByteArray calls, and I don’t know how that will affect the rest of the library which was why I wanted to see if there was something I should be doing instead.

Thanks again

Thanks for that Denis, will try that right away and let you know how it goes.

benardmens: Oh, if this is part of 3rd party code then forget my comment.

Many people seem to not know that Qt can de/encode base64 all by itself… I have seen more than one piece of code where some developer dragged in a 3rd party library just to write some bytes in base64 encoding.

Unfortunately I cannot download the files (too many downloads in parallel). So, sorry, can’t help with this.

Hi Denis, tried that but it didn’t work. The way I understood it is to add a custom Makefile argument to the PRE_TARGETDEPS? Thanks

Hi Volker,
These are some new links which shouldnt give the same problem,

I would appreciate any help as I’ve been trying to get this working for a day now. Thanks again

benardmens, can you show your .pro file (please post its content here in @ tags)?

You could put the files inside a zip or tar. Makes it easier to upload and download (for future reference).

Theres a site called wikiupload that doesn’t have a time delay to download.

Hi Denis,
I just got a work around to work by building it as a library and adding it manually to the libs. However , i would still like to be able to understand how to do it properly if possible.

The current .pro file is below as requested

And the one I was having issues with

Thanks for that, I will keep that in mind for later. Thanks for the help everyone. This is one of the most responsive forums I’ve ever been on!

benardmens, try to add something like this
