Question

Encountered this problem before but forgot how I solved it.

I want to use the STL string class but the complier is complaining about not finding it.
Here is the complete .h file.

#ifndef MODEL_H
#define MODEL_H

#include "../shared/gltools.h"  // OpenGL toolkit
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

#include "Types.h"

class Model
{

public:

    obj_type_ptr p_object;
    char Load3DS (char *p_filename);
    int LoadBitmap(char *filename);

    int num_texture;
    string fun("alex");

    Model(char* modelName, char* textureFileName);
};

#endif

You want to be using std::string, yes?

You’re just using string. Which works if you have a using namespace ... declaration, but isn’t really a good idea in a header file.
