Building C++ application with pre-build library gives compile errors - c++

Question

I am trying to modify a C++ program by including POCO to be able to do a HTTP request and receive a result. Basically, I just need within another C++ program to give a username and password and get a plain "OK" or "ERROR" response.
I am not familiar with C++ at all (use Java mainly). I build the POCO project and installed it without any problems, but when I add it to the project I get a while pile of compiler errors when building:

My code fragment is as follows:
#include <Poco/Net/HTTPRequest.h>
#include <Poco/Net/HTTPClientSession.h>
#include <Poco/Net/HTMLForm.h>
#include <Poco/StreamCopier.h>
string RTMPAppProtocolHandler::GetAuthPassword(string user) {

Poco::Net::HTTPClientSession s("www.somehost.com");
//s.setProxy("localhost", srv.port());
Poco::Net::HTTPRequest request(Poco::Net::HTTPRequest::HTTP_GET, "/large");
Poco::Net::HTMLForm form;
form.add(“entry1”, “value1”);
form.prepareSubmit(request);
s.sendRequest(request);
Poco::Net::HTTPResponse response;
std::istream& rs = s.receiveResponse(response);
Poco::StreamCopier::copyStream(rs, std::cout);
return user;
}
Am I doing something stupid? It is only this little interaction with a HTTP server which I need to modify, so I am just looking for a very simple solution but find it hard to find something that works easy (mainly because I am not familiar with C++ though)
