[SOLVED] g++ errors saying byte array is unsigned char array

Question

Does anyone know why this code
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include "cryptopp/osrng.h"
using namespace std;
int main() {
const unsigned int BLOCKSIZE = 16*8;
byte * pcbScratch = (byte *)calloc(BLOCKSIZE, sizeof(byte)); // Same error happens with byte pcbScratch[BLOCKSIZE]
CryptoPP::AutoSeededRandomPool rng;
rng.GenerateBlock(pcbScratch, BLOCKSIZE);
for(unsigned int i = 0; i < BLOCKSIZE; i++) {
cout << *(pcbScratch+i);
return 0;
would cause this error?
g++ TestClass.cpp
/tmp/cc7wp4jU.o: In function `main':
TestClass.cpp:(.text+0x202): undefined reference to `CryptoPP::RandomNumberGenerator::GenerateBlock(unsigned char*, unsigned int)'

Answer 1

Sure thing!
I used to post on the forum under the username l33tunderground, but have since decided I would rather go with a less childish username.
To be honest, I just started a project in Eclipse and attempted to include the Crypto++ libraries, which I installed through pacman. I don't know if there's anything special I need to do to properly include the library, as the Crypto++ documentation is painfully lacking in basics.
Edit: Shameless plug to the Arch forums
I've found in the past that Arch users are incredibly reliable and helpful, so I posted here rather than a traditional programming forum.
