Can't compile due to missing libraries.

[Taterade]

Problem solved see this post.
I am running Ubuntu 10.10, having trouble with #include-ing any of the ClanLib librarys/class files. I followed the steps on compiling and installing from source, and I am using the example make file but I get the following error when I try to run the make file.

$ make
g++ -o helloworld -pthread consoleexample.cpp `pkg-config --libs clanCore-2.2 clanApp-2.2`
consoleexample.cpp:1: fatal error: ClanLib/core.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [all] Error 1

Makefile source

PACKAGES = clanCore-2.2 clanApp-2.2

CPPFLAGS = `pkg-config --cflags $(PACKAGES)`

LIBS = `pkg-config --libs $(PACKAGES)`

OBJS = consoleexample.cpp



all: $(OBJS)

g++ -o helloworld -pthread $(OBJS) $(LIBS)



clean:

-rm -rf *.o

-rm consoleexample

Source Code of consoleexample.cpp

#include <ClanLib/core.h>
#include <ClanLib/application.h>

class ConsoleProgram
{
public:
static int main(const std::vector<CL_String> &args)
{
CL_SetupCore setup_core;
CL_ConsoleWindow console_window("Console", 80, 200);

CL_String now = CL_DateTime::get_current_local_time().to_short_dat etime_string();

CL_Console::write_line("At %1, we say Hello ClanLib!", now);
CL_Console::wait_for_key();

return 0;
}
};

// Create global application object, you MUST include this line or
// the application start-up will fail to locate your application object.
CL_ClanApplication app(&ConsoleProgram::main);

Either:
1) You have not compiled and installed ClanLib SDK
2) You installed the libraries to /usr/local ,that ubuntu does not pick up without a adjusting the library path ( http://linux.die.net/man/8/ldconfig via /etc/ld.so.conf )

See http://clanlib.org/wiki/MainDocs:GNU_C%2B%2B_on_Linux

The file core.h should be in /usr/include/ClanLib-2.2/ClanLib; is it?

Are you using a ClanLib version other than 2.2.x (eg. latest SVN is 2.3)? If so, you'll need to change the makefile accordingly.

Did you remember to install (sudo make install) after compiling, and were there any errors during this?

1) I did compile install, worked fine.
2) I already did that via google search.

I found the library at /usr/include/ClanLib-2.2/ so I am going to try including that in my path now.

[Taterade]

#Begin /etc/ld.so.conf

include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/usr/local/lib
/usr/include

#End /etc/ld.so.conf

Still not getting the program to compile, same error as before.
Scratch that, I found the solution.
Changed

#include <ClanLib/core.h>

to

#include <ClanLib-2.2/ClanLib/core.h

and it was included just fine.

It should probably be fixed so that the source compilation doesn't make a directory dependant on version number, or should I have put /usr/include/ClanLib-2.2 in my path? It didn't seem prudent to me since /usr/include has a number of libraries to use.

I have just noticed

You have:

$ make
g++ -o helloworld -pthread consoleexample.cpp `pkg-config --libs clanCore-2.2 clanApp-2.2`
consoleexample.cpp:1: fatal error: ClanLib/core.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [all] Error 1

You need to pass "--cflags" to pkg-config, else it will not include "-I /usr/include/ClanLib-2.2"

Even better, thanks, switched

LIBS = `pkg-config --libs $(PACKAGES)`

to

LIBS = `pkg-config --cflags --libs $(PACKAGES)`

Which indeed fixes the issue, although the CPPFLAGS line already had it.

Fixed in the wiki, but I haven't checked if this broken example appears anywhere else.
