Working code sample for S3? Document how to construct S3Client with auth and config? about aws-sdk-cpp HOT 3 CLOSED

I'd recommend against manually constructing credentials. The default constructor will use the default credentials provider chain. This will first check your environment, then your profile config file (~/.aws/credentials), and then check the ec2 metadata service (if you are on ec2 and have an instance profile attached.

Anyways, for explicitly what you are trying to do, you need to
#include <aws/core/auth/AWSCredentialsProvider.h> and then it should work.

We cover this in the video listed in the readme.md

Thanks, and d'oh! I should have thought of the include file but I assumed it was pulled in automatically from the other includes.

D'oh! again, I don't normally watch videos to learn an API, I assumed it would be too high-level of an introduction to include details like this. My bad, I'll Watch The Friendly Manual :)

No problem. For more context, we try to always forward declare everything to help with build times. Most of the time, you'll have to hunt down a header file if we are only using the type as a reference, return value, or pointer. If a concrete type is being used and instantiated in a header file then you can safely assume you get the include for free (since it wouldn't compile the library otherwise).
