Boost handles retrieving file specifications. Our routine allows for the fully qualified file specification or just the filename and extension. We begin by telling c++ we are using boost. [codesyntax lang=”cpp”] #include <boost/filesystem.hpp> using namespace boost::filesystem; [/codesyntax] The actual Boost snippet is as follows. [codesyntax lang=”cpp”] void retFiles(path p, bool fqp) { for (auto i […]
Occasionally requirements exists to return the title of a web page. This utility completes the assigned task by employing Curl, Boost a couple of custom engineered routines. [codesyntax lang=”cpp”] string getZTitle(string url) { string retVal; curl_global_init (CURL_GLOBAL_ALL); int ii; /* * We use Curl to fetch the web page per the URL. * * A […]
Enabling Eclipse to compile and execute a wxWidgets applications is a non trivial task. These recommendations offer remedy to the situation. The g++ command line should be modified as follows. [codesyntax lang=”text”] g++ `/usr/local/bin/wx-config –cflags` -std=c++11 [/codesyntax] Of course if you wx-config script is in a different location you should make you entry reflect that […]
Of all available c++ GUI’s wxWidgets is the standard for Brooks Computing Systems GUI’s. The provided packages were incompatible with the level of c++ I currently use so all the libraries in question had to be recompiled. Below is a list of the possible configuration options. [codesyntax lang=”bash”] `configure’ configures wxWidgets 3.0.4 to adapt to […]
There are many examples with gtkmm (c++). A framework was developed to facilitate making those examples fully functional in minuets instead of hours. Step 1 Generate the Eclipse Project. Step 2 Generate the examplewindow class and header. Step 3 Paste the examplewindow.h. Step 4 Paste the examplewindow.cpp. Step 5 Un comment three lines in MainWin […]
