Chilkat Dev-C++ Static Library

v9.5.0.99 • 19-Jul-2024 • sha256: fa981d33e41a76eea6e49c8d7ae5ea31c53939a994a9bf299aa60daa159b4155 Chilkat Libs for Embarcadero Dev-C++ (TDM-GCC 9.2.0 64-bit)

Getting Started

1. Download and Unzip to any Directory

The Chilkat static library for Dev-C++ is lib/libchilkat.a. The headers (.h) files are in the include subdirectory.

2. Open Dev-C++:

Start Dev-C++ and open your project or create a new one.

3. Include the Header Files:

Ensure that the header files for the static library are available and included in your project files where needed. For example:

Here is a the source code for a simple C++ program. Your application must call UnlockBundle once at the start each time it runs. Include the Chilkat header for each Chilkat class used.

// Simple C++ Example
	
#include "include/CkCrypt2.h"
#include "include/CkGlobal.h"

bool UnlockChilkat(void)
{
	CkGlobal glob;
	return glob.UnlockBundle("Anything for 30-day trial");
}

void DoSomethingWithChilkat(void)
{
    CkCrypt2 crypt;
    crypt.put_CryptAlgorithm("aes");
    crypt.put_CipherMode("cbc");
    crypt.put_KeyLength(256);
    crypt.put_PaddingScheme(0);
    crypt.put_EncodingMode("hex");
    const char *ivHex = "000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F";
    crypt.SetEncodedIV(ivHex,"hex");
    const char *keyHex = "000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F101112131415161718191A1B1C1D1E1F";
    crypt.SetEncodedKey(keyHex,"hex");

    const char *encStr = crypt.encryptStringENC("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.");
    std::cout << encStr << std::endl;

    const char *decStr = crypt.decryptStringENC(encStr);
    std::cout << decStr << std::endl;
    
    return;
    }

int main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
	if (UnlockChilkat()) {
	    DoSomethingWithChilkat();
	}
	return 0;
}

4. Configure the Project to Link the Static Library

Go to Project > Project Options and add the static library by:

1. Go to the Parameters tab.
2. Under the Linker section, you need to add your static library file. Click the Add Library or Object button (usually denoted by an icon of a library or object file).
3. Navigate to the location of the libchilkat.a file, select it, and click Open.
4. The library should now appear in the list of libraries to be linked.
5. Also add -lcrypt32 and -lws2_32 as shown below.

5. Specify the Library Path (if necessary)

1. If your library is not in the default library search path, you need to specify the path to the library directory.
2. Go to the Directories tab.
3. Under the Library Directories section, click Add, then navigate to and select the directory containing the libchilkat.a file.

6. Build the Project:

Save your project settings and build the project by clicking Execute > Compile & Run or pressing F9.

Release Notes

The release notes are located on the Chilkat blog.

Unicode Support

The Chilkat C++ libraries support Unicode in the form of utf-8 multibyte character strings. For more information see these pages:

• Using Unicode String Literals
• Using ANSI or utf-8 with Chilkat C++ "const char *" arguments.
• C++ Examples for Unicode, utf-8, and ANSI

Misdiagnosed Memory Leaks

C++ programmers often misdiagnose memory leaks with Chilkat. Please read the information here to understand the reason: Misdiagnosed C++ Memory Leaks
