How do I use libconfig::Setting as a member variable?

[keineahnung2345]

I've tried:

// declare the private member variable
libconfig::Setting setting;

// in constructor, setup it
const libconfig::Setting& root = cfg.getRoot();
setting = root["x"]["y"]; //operator= is inaccessible

and also:

// declare the private member variable
libconfig::Setting* setting;

// in constructor, setup it
const libconfig::Setting& root = cfg.getRoot();
setting = new libconfig::Setting(root["x"]["y"]); // Setting(const Setting& other) is inaccessible

Both method fail, so how do I use libconfig::Setting as a member variable?

The Setting object is not meant to be used that way. You should copy the value of the setting into a variable of the appropriate type, and use that as your member variable.

OK, thanks.
