An error when compiling using curlpp

Question

I tried to compile first simple example, and see compile error: undefined reference to `curlpp::Cleanup::Cleanup()'

In linker options i wrote curl-config --libs, in command line

$ curl-config --libs

-lcurl

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You don't want to link your program against plain-C curl (-lcurl), but against curlpp! Use -lcurlpp instead. You may also call curlpp-config --libs.

Don't forget: curl (without "pp") is a C library, the C++ library is called curlpp
