link library in managed make project [message #146816]

Mon, 13 June 2005 18:08

Eclipse User

I am trying to link a managed make project to a prebuilt library, in this
case /usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.25.0

In the Properties -> C/C++ Build -> GCC C++ Linker/ Libraries, I added the
file to Libraries and the path to Library Search Path. This is apparently
insufficient because i get this error:

ld: cannot find -l/usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.25.0

What else do I need to do?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "property fields"
I didn't write anything.
I browsed to the file for the Library and to the path for Library Path.

I can easily switch to a regular make.
Can you tell me how to link that way?

The steps i took result in the linker using these options:
-l/usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.25.0 -L/usr/lib/

You have one error in this line. If you use the "-l" flag you should type
"-lxerces-c". The pre- and suffix is added automatically.

But, what I don't know is wether this versioning number is recognized.
Perhaps you
should first create a symbolic link without the number
(on LINUX via "ln -s libxerces-c.so.25.0 libxerces-c.so")
and then type "-lxerces-c".

The other possibility is to just type "/usr/lib/libxerces-c.so.25.0",
without -l
or -L. This should also work.

do this eliminates the link error.
thanks!
