[Quickfix-developers] Acceptor Compilation Error

[Patrick L. <pat...@an...>]

Hello,

Please see attached the example code for the "Acceptor" taken from:
http://www.quickfixengine.org/quickfix/doc/html/application.html

Please note that before deciding to post this question, I have consulted
the mailing list and StackOverflow where I found a similar question (which
sadly didn't result in a solution for my issue). This question can be found
here:

<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30358675/compiling-a-quickfix-program>*

When I try to compile the example code (on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS), I receive
the following errors:







*trade_client_test.cpp: In function ‘int main(int,
char**)’:trade_client_test.cpp:17:3: error: ‘MyApplication’ was not
declared in this scope   MyApplication application;
 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~trade_client_test.cpp:21:6: error: ‘application’ was not
declared in this scope     (application, storeFactory, settings, logFactory
/*optional*/);      ^~~~~~~~~~~*

*I am using the following command to compile a file called
"trade_client_test.cpp" which is attached to this email:*
*g++ trade_client_test.cpp -std=c++11 -fexceptions -finline-functions
-lquickfix -lpthread -lxml2*

I have included the header files where these declarations should be (I
think). I then decided to rename "MyApplication" to "Application", which
gave a slightly different set of errors:

trade_client_test.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
trade_client_test.cpp:17:3: error: ‘Application’ was not declared in this
scope
   Application application;
   ^~~~~~~~~~~
trade_client_test.cpp:17:3: note: suggested alternative:
In file included from /usr/local/include/quickfix/Acceptor.h:29:0,
                 from /usr/local/include/quickfix/SocketAcceptor.h:29,
                 from trade_client_test.cpp:3:
/usr/local/include/quickfix/Application.h:43:7: note:   ‘FIX::Application’
 class Application
       ^~~~~~~~~~~
trade_client_test.cpp:21:6: error: ‘application’ was not declared in this
scope
     (application, storeFactory, settings, logFactory /*optional*/);


I've been stuck on this for a while and I haven't had much success in
finding a solution.
If someone could help me figure out how to solve this issue step-by-step, I
would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Patrick
