How to add or use C++ library in application

Hello,
I ran into this issue today where I couldnt use some of basic libraries of C++ such as iostream.h and sstream.h while writing application. My application requires concatinating float data and string data hence these are necessary to me. Can anybody tell me how can I utilise these libraries while building the app? Thansk in advance.

     #include "interfaces.h"
     #include "legato.h"
     #include <termios.h>
     #include <unistd.h>
     #include <string.h>
     #include <iostream.h>


     // Used to convert GPS int to double
     #define GPS_DECIMAL_SHIFT 6
     // Used for distance calculations
     #define MIN_REQUIRED_HORIZ_ACCURACY_METRES 10  // TODO validate that this is realistic
     #define POLL_PERIOD_SEC 2 * 60 // 2 minutes
     #define RETRY_PERIOD_SEC 1

Can you try #include <iostream> instead of #include <iostream.h> ?

Hi @JordanZhao

Thanks for replying I got the following error when I did as you said

C:\Legato\workspace1\load/textLocComponent/textLoc.c:6:20: fatal error: iostream: No such
file or directory

 #include <iostream>
                ^

compilation terminated.
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

This is the same error I get even if I use iostram.h at the include

The source file textLoc.c should end up with cpp.

@JordanZhao

This is what I got after renaming the .c to .cpp

Please check those ERROR on Google for answers, Thanks.

Just a thought - have you tried compiling the C++ file as a C++ file with the c++ flags set.

In Component.cdef

cxxflags:
{
-std=c++0x
}

@johnofleek

Thanks for replying I hadnt added the directory “/dev/ttyHS0” to the .adef file. Igot it working thanks for suggestion.
