I am trying to install the Palm SDK 3.5 libraries. They provide the actual include/ and lib/ directories, which you have to install manually (no install script or rpm). I tried following the instructions of creating the directory /usr/local/palmdev/ and placing the lib/ and include/ directories in there, but when I try to compile it, gcc doesn't see those include files. Is there some environment variable that I should be setting for it to look in those directories? What would be the standard and clean way to solve this problem? I appologize in advance if this has been answered elsewhere, but I have been unable to come up with a search query specific enough.

Thanks for any help,
Keenan

you can always just copy the files in /usr/local/palmdev/include to /usr/include, that seem easiest

if the includes are in a directory
like /usr/local/palmdev/include/somedirname
then just make a link to that dir in
/usr/include

otherwise look at the Makefile you are using or the output when you try to compile and see if you can add
-I/usr/local/palmdev/include
to the gcc command

the same with the libs if it won't link
just make links in /usr/lib or copy them to /usr/lib or adjust the Makefile to include
-L/usr/local/palmdev/lib in the gcc command
