cURLcpp error while compiling source

Question

I am kinda new to c++ and the use of github. I want to use cURL functionality in c++. Therefore I first forked curlcpp (by JosephP91) from github, and then followed the instructions from its README.txt.

Now I get an Error when executing

make # -j2

(with or without -j2 makes no difference).

The error:

[ 12%] Building CXX object src/CMakeFiles/curlcpp.dir/curl_easy.cpp.o
In file included from /home/user/.git/curlcpp/src/curl_easy.cpp:6:0:

Thank you guys in advance for helping me!

EDIT:

Output of

cmake

Output:

can you give cmake output, I tested with JosephP91 repository and it compile just fine for me — izissise

I'm able to reproduce the problem in ubuntu, I think the problem is the libcurl version, I gonna upgrade and come back to you — izissise

You need to update libcurl fron version 7.35.0 to 7.37.1 on Ubuntu, libcurl 7.31 is available on the utopic repository (http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/libcurl4-nss-dev).

You can use apt-get to update by doing:

echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic main restricted" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade libcurl4-nss-dev

and then redo cmake and make and it should compile just fine.

Thanks a lot! This solved the problem! But the first command you provided didn't work for me (no diff with sudo), so i did it this way: 'echo "deb archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic main restricted" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list' (first backup the sources.list)
