Hi,
I'm trying to compile ptc. Actually I'm trying to link against the Hermes
pixel conversion library. With the following (ptc's configure creates this):
char Hermes_ConverterInstance();
int main() {
Hermes_ConverterInstance()
; return 0; }
and the command-line:
gcc test.c -o test -lHermes
I get:
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lHermes
Hermes is installed in /usr/local/lib (from ports). The gcc/ld man pages and
various sources on the web seem to indicate that /usr/local/lib isn't searched
by default. `ldconfig -r' shows hermes in its list, however. Anyway man ld
says that "for a native linker on an ELF system, if the file /etc/ld.so.conf
exists, the list of directories found in that file" will be searched, so I
added /usr/local/lib to that file (and /usr/X11R6/lib for good measure) however
I still get the error.
Any pointers as to what I'm doing wrong? Should this have gone to -newbies? :D
cheers
sam
