Description

I can not build the library from latest revision for the Mac OSX 10.6.
I'm using a Mac with OSX 10.10 64bit, so I put the line "-stdlib=libstdc++ -mmacosx-version-min=10.6" into CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc.
The error:

actions.cpp:1973:26: error: no viable conversion from 'const std::string' (aka 'const basic_string<char>')
      to 'const char *'
                fb.open (target,std::ios::out);
                         ^~~~~~

Max. Thanks for letting me know about this. I was very surprised by this because I obtained that code from a very credible source: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ostream/ostream/ostream/

The quick fix is to change:

fb.open (target,std::ios::out);
to:
fb.open (target.c_str(),std::ios::out);
However, I'm uneasy about that. c_str() is a legacy thing and should be avoided. I'll have a proper look at this on Sunday.

Good News, this code was broken on the buildsever. I submitted the code and went to the movies. It had only been on the trunk for an hour when you raised this matter. So, I would have discovered this when I got home from the movies!

I've replaced the filebuf code in src/actions.cpp:

// http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/ostream/ostream/ostream/
std::filebuf fb;
fb.open (target.c_str(),std::ios::out);
std::ostream os(&fb);
sourceImage->printStructure(os,Exiv2::kpsXMP);
fb.close();
with:
// http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/files/
std::ofstream os;
os.open(target.c_str());
sourceImage->printStructure(os,Exiv2::kpsXMP);
os.close();
Which is shorter and more obvious. I need the c_str() on Tiger and Cygwin. It may be possible to detect the version of STL and only include the c_str() when essential, however I'll investigate that possibility if a bug is reported which implicates this code. For the moment it builds and passes the test suite on our supported platforms. http://exiv2.dyndns.org:8080/job/Exiv2-trunk/2348/
