Can someone explain me why am I getting the compile error
error: no type named 'VarDictionary' in namespace 'pp'
pp::VarDictionary dictionary;
~~~~^
I'm tying to set a dictionary in the function
virtual void HandleMessage(const pp::Var& message) {
}
I copied the example from the bottom of this Google page https://developer.chrome.com/native-client/devguide/coding/message-system
and tried something simple like this
virtual void HandleMessage(const pp::Var& message) {
pp::VarDictionary dictionary;
pp::VarArray an_array;
an_array.Set(0, pp::Var("string0"));
an_array.Set(1, pp::Var("string1"));
dictionary.Set(pp::Var("param_array"), an_array);
PostMessage(dictionary);
}
but when I compile the code i get the error message for the pp::VarDictionary dictionary;
however no problem with the pp::VarArray an_array;
I'm using this Makefile from Google

You need to add the header file for var_dictionary.h that is where the class you are trying to access is declared.
Source code for that header is available here
