Linking headers in non-standerd location

Fredstar · 07-15-2006, 06:01 PM

Sorry if this is a double post (bg, programming) i just thought it would get better show here (well after my first post that is).

Im trying to compile a programm that needs headers from lame, xvid, and a few others.

I have them all installed on a drive /3opt.

how, during ./configure, can i make it look in that directory if options such as *-include, *-libs, *-prefix are not given.

thanks and sorry

your configure script should have the option for additional include and libs dirs..

usually
--with-extra-includes=DIR
--with-extra-libs=DIR

No, it doesnt. When i checked ./configure --help those options are not listed.

Also i tried to give them a shot and they shot errors.

However, i have now been using CFLAGS such as LDFLAGS='-L/3opt/lib' CPPFLAGS='-I/3opt/include' which has settled most of my problems.

Now, the only problem im having is faac and faad are not being listed as installed and they are.

any suggestions?
thanks
