Hello all. I have a problem regarding linking of shared libraries (I’ll refer to them as .so files since I’m on linux).
Let’s say I have project A and project B. Project A builds as an executable file and project B builds as a .so
My project tree looks like this:
- Root
- – A
- – B
And this is also what it looks like in my build directory.
These projects installs to /usr/bin and /usr/lib respectively.
Now, how do I go about to make it so that I can link to the installed version of project B (i.e. /usr/lib/B.so) when I compile project A?
The chain of operations look like this: build B, build A, install B, install A.
But if I declare LIBS += -L/usr/lib -lB in project A, it will look for the installed library, which isn’t there during compile.
Should I declare something like LIBS += -L<buildDirectory>/lib -L/usr/lib -lB?
I’m sorry if this is too incoherent, but I hope someone will understand my problem!
