Lib/Include in user home directory?

pocket_aces · 11-06-2006, 02:33 PM

I need to compile code on a work system that I do not have root (nor sudo) access to. The result of this is that the only place I can create files is /home/users/<myuserID> Is there a way to get the system to consider /home/users/<myuserID>/lib and /home/users/<myuserID>/include as system lib/include directories so that I don't have to try to re-write all the make files and SConstruct files for the various applications?

Thanks

Can't you just add and export the necessary include and linker flags?

Maybe? I don't know exactly what you mean or how one would do that? Is it somehow explicitly telling the system where -lopencv (for example) is located?

Also, are there any good online tutorials on this stuff? None of my undergrad classes seem to deal with topics like linking shared libraries and I'm not finding anything by googling.
