Compiling my own project

[<Ebner.EJ.Johannes]

Hi out there!

I am currently writing a wrapper for our MySQL database in C++ - and I'm fairly new to C++
(in fact, this is my first project ^^). So please excuse any dumb-ass things ;-)


Ok, now the problem: Whenever I try to compile my program (a single class at the moment)
using my makefile, this would be the output:


$> make test2
g++ -g -O2 -Wall           -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/mysql
-I/usr/local/mysql++-3.0.8/include/mysql++ -L/usr/lib64/mysql
/usr/local/mysql++-3.0.8/lib -l mysqlclient -l mysqlpp -l boost_regex test2.cpp -o test2
test2.cpp: In constructor 'Database::Database()':
test2.cpp:30: error: no matching function for call to

const char* [0u], unsigned int&)'

-------------------------------------

Ok now, here's the code extract I compiled to show you the error:




#include <mysql++.h>
#include <ostream>

using namespace std;

class Database
{
    const char* dbHost[];
    const char* dbName[];
    const char* dbUser[];
    const char* dbPass[];
    unsigned int dbPort;

    mysqlpp::Connection dbConn;

    Database();
    Database(char* db, char* user, char* pass, char* host, unsigned int port);
    ~Database() {}
};


Database::Database()
{
    *dbHost = "hostname:3306";
    *dbName = "db_name";
    *dbUser = "db_user";
    *dbPass = "password";
    dbPort = 3306;

    mysqlpp::Connection dbConn(dbName, dbHost, dbUser, dbPass, dbPort);
}

Database::Database(char* db, char* user, char* pass, char* host, unsigned int port)
{
    try
    {
        dbConn = mysqlpp::Connection(db, host, user, pass, port);
    }
    catch(mysqlpp::ConnectionFailed connFailedEx)
    {
        cerr << "Connection failed: " << connFailedEx.what()  << "Error
number " << connFailedEx.errnum() << endl;
    }
    catch(mysqlpp::Exception ex)
    {
        cerr << "Fatal error during connection initialization:" << endl
<< ex.what() << endl;
    }
}





------------------------------------

Do you have any suggestion why the function lookup fails to find the correct version? I am
sure the datatypes are correct - but on the other hand, this seems to be the only possible
reason....
I am really longing for your help - it is so frustrating....

Thanks in advance,
Johannes
