Opening libraries in c++

[Shadow]

From what I can see of your code I can see you spelled IntuitionBase with at small "i" and not at capital "I".

The other error you get:

10: initialization to 'UBYTE *' from 'const char *' discards qualifiers

can be fixed with something like this:
UBYTE *p = reinterpret_cast(const_cast(o));

where "o" has been defined as: const char *o somewhere.

This first removes the const qualifier from "o" and then casts it to a UBYTE pointer

And it looks like you are missing some includes.

Try this:

#include
#include
#include

#include
using namespace std;

struct IntutionBase *intuibase = NULL;

int main()
{
  intuibase = static_cast(OpenLibrary("intuition.library", 0));

  if(intuibase != NULL)
  {
    cout << "Yeah" << endl;
    CloseLibrary(static_cast(intuibase));
  }
  else
  {
    cout << "darn it" << endl;
  }
}

This should compile with g++ or StormC4 + stlport

Wrong. Never ever include clib directly. Always use , in this case .

Really?? I never heard that before. I am possitive I read somewhere allways to use clib/. But I could be wrong.

struct IntutionBase *intuibase = NULL;

That's IntuitionBase, or else he can't call any intuition functions (that's usually the reason for opening the library right?)

Ahh, I was actually very carefull not to make any mistakes, guess I missed that one.  sorry.
