Thanks a million for the help, I was able to work through most of the issues
but I think my fundamental modifications of the code that I did last night
were what was giving me the most problems. So, in short, I backed up the
version that I finally got to compile (which still doesn't compile into the
program itself which is why I think it might be a bigger set of what I did)
and then pulled a fresh copy of the file and did some very basic
modifications and I think I'm quite a bit further along but I appear to be
running into a big of an issue with it at this point and was wondering if I
could get any pointers as to if I have something with mysqlpp set up wrong?
I think I'm really really close, but a touch stuck =\.
### The Errors ###
lyra:src/SQL# make
g++ -Wall -Wno-deprecated -O -g -I/usr/include/mysql++ -I/usr/include/my
sql -c DatabaseControl.cpp
DatabaseControl.h:29: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'Connection'
with no type

DatabaseControl.cpp: In constructor 'DatabaseControl::DatabaseControl()':
DatabaseControl.cpp:39: error: 'm_conDB' was not declared in this scope

DatabaseControl.cpp:54: error: 'm_conDB' was not declared in this scope
### The Snippets of Code ###
I have included mysql++.h and using namespace mysqlpp
DatabaseControl *DatabaseControl::s_DBCinstance((DatabaseControl*) 0);
/**
* Private contructor for the class. Creates a new Connection object
* and connects to the database.
*/
DatabaseControl::DatabaseControl()
{
try
{
m_conDB = new Connection();
m_conDB->connect(DBNAME, DBHOST, DBUSER, DBPASS);
}
catch(const BadQuery& er)
{
cerr << "Error occured: " << er.what() << endl;
}
}
###### 2nd error related to below ######
map<string, Command*> DatabaseControl::getCommands()
{
map<string, Command*> theMap;
try
{
Query query = m_conDB->query();
query << "SELECT * FROM tbl_commands";
Result res = query.store();
Row row;
Result::iterator it;
for(it = res.begin(); it != res.end(); ++it)
{
row = *it;
Command *newCmd = new Command(
row["Name"].get_string(),
row["Code"].get_string(),
(int)row["MinPosition"],
(int)row["Level"],
(int)row["Logged"],
(int)row["Enabled"] );
theMap[newCmd->getName()] = newCmd;
}
}
catch(const BadQuery& er)
{
cerr << "Error querying for Command:" << er.what() << endl;
}
return theMap;
}
### The Header File Snippets ###
I have included mysql++.h and using namespace mysqlpp here as well.
class Connection;
class DatabaseControl : public IDataPersist
{
private:
Connection *m_conDB;
static DatabaseControl *s_DBCinstance;
DatabaseControl();
public:
virtual ~DatabaseControl();
static DatabaseControl* Instance();
map<string, Command* > getCommands();
