Hi
I would like to write an application that uses the FAM (fam-2.7.0) to monitor some directory in the linux filesystem. I went to oss.sgi.com/projects/fam and download:
monitor.c
source code. I got fam-2.7.0 installed but when I try to compile monitor.c it give out error linking the program.

Error Message:
root # gcc -o mon monitor.c
/tmp/ccDDZiH4.o(.text+0x94): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `FAMOpen'
/tmp/ccDDZiH4.o(.text+0x153): In function `main':

/tmp/ccDDZiH4.o(.text+0x18c): In function `main':

: undefined reference to `FAMCONNECTION_GETfd'
/tmp/ccDDZiH4.o(.text+0x29c): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `FAMNextEvent'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm sure it has something to do with the linking but I'm not sure how to fix it. Please help


Thanks

is there a /usr/lib/libfam.*?

then try gcc -lfam -o mon monitor.c

Hi Stirling,
thanks it got me somewhere, however now I stuck at this point trying to figure out where the function FAMCONNECTION_GETfd' come from.

root # gcc -lfam -o mon monitor.c
/tmp/cc2VxbZZ.o(.text+0x1e4): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `FAMCONNECTION_GETfd'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

and

root # ls -al /usr/lib/libfam*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 41110 Mar 5 18:30 /usr/lib/libfam.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 703 Mar 5 18:30 /usr/lib/libfam.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Mar 5 18:30 /usr/lib/libfam.so -> li
bfam.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Mar 5 18:30 /usr/lib/libfam.so.0 ->
libfam.so.0.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 35930 Mar 5 18:30 /usr/lib/libfam.so.0.0.0

thanks

change FAMCONNECTION_GETfd to FAMCONNECTION_GETFD in monitor.c
