Re: Unable to make drogon-assist

Thanks guys I now have a good starting point.  Turns out the code has other errors I have to reach out to the maintainers about.

Once again I have to say, this is not the right place to be asking
these questions.  None of this has anything to do with GNU Make.

However, if you are using a version of C++ which supports
std::string_view (which C++20 does) then all I can assume is that the
above is a bug in the code, and the type should be std::string_view not
string_view.

It's possible, but considered _extremely_ bad form, to add a "using
std;" to this header file and avoid the need to prefix STL types with
std:: but apparently that was not done here (which is good because it's
wrong to do that; certainly in global scope but even inside a class or
namespace it's a bad idea).

So, I reiterate, you should report this problem to the drogon-assist
maintainers.  They will have to help you.

Good luck!
