adding paths

daisychick · 10-11-2012, 01:27 PM

after compiling the boost C++ libraries, I got this message:

Code:

The following directory should be added to compiler include paths:

    /usr/local/packages/boost_1_47_0

The following directory should be added to linker library paths:

    /usr/local/packages/boost_1_47_0/stage/lib

what does this mean and how would I do it? Running ubuntu 10.04

Depends on the compiler. If it is gcc, then you would add

Code:

-I /usr/local/packages/boost_1_47_0

to the compiler commandline, and you would add

Code:

-L /usr/local/packages/boost_1_47_0/stage/lib

to the linker commandline.
If you're doing this with a Makefile, or using an existing Makefile, the convention is to add those options to the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS variables, respectively.
