I want to use curl/curlpp in my C++ project so I used the commands:
brew install curl and brew install curlpp
which had no issues. So to check that they were installed properly I called:
curl --version and curlpp --version
The first command gave a response, but the second issues the error:
curlpp: command not found
This is odd as if I check the directory usr/local/Cellar I can see that both curl and curlpp are there. On top of this when I add curl and curlpp to my linker in Eclipse project properties, I am unable to compile when I include curlpp/cURLpp.hpp, but curl/curl.h causes no issue.
If someone could help me with this that would be awesome, as I am a total noob when it comes to using foreign libraries in a C++ project.
First, you don't need to install curl by yourself because macOS already have one.
Second, C++ libraries generally don't have executable.
So, curlpp doesn't exist.
Finally, if you want to external library, you have to tell compiler where the library is.
C++ library generally have a script to do that, <library name>-config.
In the case of curlpp, curlpp-config is the one.
You can pass curlpp-config --cflags --libs to your compiler to tell it about the library.
