Description

Hi Team,

I'm using the vici interface in the c++ application and got the below linking errors as extern "c" linkage is missing in the libvici.h file.

: undefined reference to `vici_init()'
: undefined reference to `vici_connect(char*)'
: undefined reference to `vici_begin(char*)'
: undefined reference to `vici_add_key_valuef(vici_req_t*, char*, char*, ...)'
: undefined reference to `vici_add_key_valuef(vici_req_t*, char*, char*, ...)'
: undefined reference to `vici_add_key_value(vici_req_t*, char*, void*, int)'

Modified the headerfile to get it working locally, can these changes be made to branch ?

Thanks,
Mallesh

Thanks for the patch, I've pushed it to the 2795-libvici-cpp branch. However, instead of using libvici, which might be problematic due to its GPLv2 license (unless you already have a commercial strongSwan license or create an open-source software), I'd recommend you have a look at the davici C library, which is licensed under the more permissive LGPLv2.1 license.

Thanks Brunner for the input, I will explore the davici C library.
