Scons && programming problems

Zmyrgel · 08-28-2006, 01:18 PM

Just installed Scons and tried to make simple ncurses program but it fails giving this:

Code:

root@Shodan:/mnt/hd3/programming/zombie# scons
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
g++ -o Main main.o -L/usr/include -lcurses.h -lmenu.h
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/3.4.6/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lcurses.h
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
scons: *** [Main] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.
root@Shodan:/mnt/hd3/programming/zombie# find /usr/include -name curses
root@Shodan:/mnt/hd3/programming/zombie# find /usr/include -name curses.h
/usr/include/curses.h
/usr/include/ncurses/curses.h
root@Shodan:/mnt/hd3/programming/zombie# find /usr/include -name menu.h
/usr/include/ncurses/menu.h
/usr/include/menu.h

Ideas how to get this Scons to work?

Here's my SConstruct

Code:

Program('Main', 'main.cpp', LIBS=['curses.h', 'menu.h'], LIBPATH='/usr/include')

I don't know much about scons, but after looking at the configuration and the output from gcc/g++, it seems that you used the header directory as the lib directory.

Yeah, I noticed that too after thinking that little bit.
Still can't make it to work though but I think that's caused by the code itself.

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/include" ? The failure is from the linker, not the compiler. Alas, I've not used scons either =/

Yeah, I should try out few easier projects to get in touch with the c++ programming again and then apply that to ncurses things. Atleast getting more familiar with the Scons before that
