Hi,
I'm using Fedora 2. When I compile libpdf++ (C++ library for pdf) for my learning and got these errors

Code:

c++ -DPACKAGE=\"libpdfdoc\" -DVERSION=\"0.0.3\" -DHAVE_DLFCN_H=1 -DHAVE_LIBZ=1 -DHAVE_JPEG=1 -I. -I. -I../../src -I/usr/include/boost -DNDEBUG -Wall -O2 -c Array.cc   -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/Array.lo
In file included from Array.cc:27:

I did my best (in Google) but found nothing (with searched word "ISO C++ forbids declaration of")
Any ideal

What version of G++ do you have installed? Run this command:

$ c++ --version

It looks like libpdf++ doesn't use ANSI standard C++. I would contact the maintainer of libpdf++ and have them address these coding errors.

Peace...

This's mine

so how can I tell c++ to compile libpdf with not ANSI standard C++

Well, I don't believe you can, nor would you want to.

Contact the author and ask for some assistance. Send the compile output you're getting.

Good luck!

Peace...

tomdkat, thank you

May be I should give up compiling this library
