Undefined reference to curlpp using code::blocks on kubuntu

Question

I have a problem with curlpp library. I'll explain the steps that I followed.

Step 1: download and installation

download website: Download

$./configure
$make
$sudo make install

curlpp header files are located in /usr/local/include/
curlpp library files are located in /usr/local/lib/

Step 2: I used the following code:

#include <curlpp/cURLpp.hpp>
#include <curlpp/Easy.hpp>
#include <curlpp/Options.hpp>
#include <curlpp/Exception.hpp>


using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char *url = (char*) "http://dbpedia.org/sparql";

    string queryString = "PREFIX dbp: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/> "
        "PREFIX dbp2: <http://dbpedia.org/ontology/> "
        "SELECT ?abstract "
        "WHERE { "
            "dbp:Nikola_Tesla dbp2:abstract ?abstract . "
            "FILTER langMatches(lang(?abstract), 'en')"
        "}";

    try
    {
        curlpp::Easy request;
        string parameters = "query=" + curlpp::escape(queryString);

        request.setOpt(new curlpp::options::Url(url));
        request.setOpt(new curlpp::options::Verbose(true));
        request.setOpt(new curlpp::options::PostFields(parameters));

        request.perform();
    }

    catch (curlpp::RuntimeError & e)
    {
        std::cout << e.what() << std::endl;
    }

    catch (curlpp::LogicError & e)
    {
        std::cout << e.what() << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;

}//end function main

Errors

Undefined reference to curlpp ::Easy:Easy()
Undefined reference to curlpp ::escape (const std :: string &)
Undefined reference to curlpp ::Easy::setopt (curlpp OptionBase :: *)
Undefined reference to curlpp curlpp::Easy::setopt(curlpp OptionBase:: *)
etc.

After adding -lcurlpp as the picture shows: I got the following errors:

have you tried curl-config --libs, or pkg-config --libs curl on the command line? Or have you tried to add -lssl as a linker flag? — Arne
I added -lcurl witth -lcurlpp to the other linking options it actually solved the problem but I don't know why and how to explain it — Hani Goc

You need to link with -lcurlpp when compiling & linking your code.
