Errors while trying to port a C++ library

Hrishikesh · ‎2020-05-28

I'm trying to import an Arduino C++ library into an STM32F4 project. I set the project to be a C++ one while I was creating it. I've also made the necessary code changes needed for the STM32. However, while compiling I'm getting the following errors. Can anyone please let me know how I can resolve this? I've also attached the library files here.

In file included from ../Core/Src/main.c:27:0:
../Core/Inc/PID_V1.h:5:1: error: unknown type name 'class'
 class PID {
 ^~~~~
../Core/Inc/PID_V1.h:5:11: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '{' token
 class PID {

While your file is still called "main.c" then it is still a C file, and so can't cope with "C++ only" things like classes.

Try renaming that file to main.cpp and do whatever else is necessary for your IDE to look for main.cpp not main.c?

Hope this helps,
