header include path

KDE4me · 10-03-2003, 05:41 AM

Hi,
I'm trying to get an installation to recognize a header file that I already have located in /usr/local/include/ClanLib-0.7/ClanLib/ called core.h
I've put a symlink in /usr/include to /usr/local/include/ but it won't recognize core.h. From what I gather from other postings is that the include path includes the directory /usr/include. There is no shell $INCLUDE variable and setting it to include my target directory has not worked.

Is there some way to create an include path for ./configure. I've tried a couple of ways but they haven't worked so far.

The closest thing I believe to what I want is located here:
http://www.redhat.com/knowledgebase/.../building.html
but this stuff is way over my head:
>You can provide the header include path to autoconf based packages by running configure with a few environment variables set:

env PATH=/usr/i386-glibc20-linux/bin;$PATH \
CXX=i386-glibc20-linux-c++ \
CXXFLAGS=-I/usr/i386-glibc20-linux/include/g++ ./configure

Any ideas?

I know I am dragging a dead cow out of the ditch ;-) but for anyone having the same problem it could save some frustration... I was trying to configure Pingus with the same error ('missing' ClanLib/core.h)

Just move /usr/local/include/ClanLib-0.7/ClanLib/* to /usr/local/include/ClanLib/* and Bob's y'r uncle ;-)

Added several minutes later:
...not quite... it solves the above problem, but next is that libclanCore can't be found, whereas it is clearly present as a link in /usr/local/lib.... aaaarrgghhh...

Code:

checking ClanLib/core.h usability... yes
checking ClanLib/core.h presence... yes
checking for ClanLib/core.h... yes
checking for main in -lpthread... yes
checking for xml2-config... xml2-config
checking for main in -lHermes... no
checking for main in -lclanCore... no
ClanLib installed, but -lclanCore not found, run 'ldconfig' and try again,
if that doesn't help have a look at the file config.log and look into
the FAQ.

Well, ldconfig didn't matter, so now I'm heading for the faq. I'll post back if I find a way out of this...

Cheers, Leon.

I successfully installed Hermes libraries, and reinstalled ClanLib, but without result on the configuration of Pingus. Guess I'll just use the binaries ;-) If anyone has an idea why libclancore can't be found, please let me know!

Cheers, Leon.

bumping this along, any answers yet???

I am using FC3, anyone with ideas for how I can get this game to work.

I used the binaries

where exactly is clanlib on your system?

as for picking up headers in non-standard locations, the CFLAGS environment variable takes care of that (and setting compiler optimizations and such) so for example if the header is in /usr/local/include/ClanLib-0.7/ClanLib you could:

export CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/ClanLib-0.7/ClanLib"

and it should pick up that directory

for the libs in nonstandard directories LDFLAGS or LD_LIBRARY_PATH will do (I like the latter better)
so for example if clanlib was installed in /usr/local/lib/clanlib you could:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/clanlib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

which will set /usr/local/lib/clanlib as the first directory searched by the linker.
