XML reader compile and link – cpp

From the post of the full code of the xml reader project, full code here.

Here is how to compile it up and also link to a basic main run method.

Compile up

g++ cppxmlreader.cpp -c

will create the cppxmlreader.o (which is the object file) if you do file on the object the outout would be

file cppxmlreader.o
cppxmlreader.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

and then using this code xmlreadmain.cpp

#include "cppxmlreader.h"

int main(int argv, char** argc)
{
    xmlReader xmlRead;
    xmlRead.loadFile("words.xml");
    xmlRead.printOuterXML();
    return 0;
}

This will include the header file of the cppxmlreader.h and then create a xmlReader object and load a basic file of words.xml and then print out the xml read in.

Here is the words.xml

  merry
  old
  sole
  was
  he

and to compile up the main run the cppxmlreader.o is the object file from the above compiling and the xmlreadmain.cpp is the main runner with -o being the output name of the executable.

g++ xmlreadmain.cpp cppxmlreader.o -o xmlreader

and if you run the xmlreader, the output should be
