Re: gplc libraries not found

[Sean Charles (emacstheviking)]

try:

/usr/doc/gprolog-1.5.0/examples/ExamplesPl$ gplc --fast-math --min-bips -o boyer boyer.pl -L /usr/lib64/libbips

or:

/usr/doc/gprolog-1.5.0/examples/ExamplesPl$ gplc --fast-math --min-bips -o boyer boyer.pl -L /usr/lib64/libbips

/usr/doc/gprolog-1.5.0/examples/ExamplesPl$ gplc --fast-math --min-bips -o boyer boyer.pl -L /usr/lib64 -L -lbips

I smell success with the second one... you are very close I think... keep tweaking!

and it still complains:

"cannot locate file libbips_fd.a"


The contents of that directory:

ls -l /usr/lib64/libbi*.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  422490 Apr 26 20:34 /usr/lib64/libbips_fd.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1756350 Apr 26 20:34 /usr/lib64/libbips_pl.a

Try here:

section 4.4.3 using the compiler, Linker Options

gplc --fast-math --min-bips -o boyer boyer.pl -L /path/to/lib

It's been a while but I think I linked SDL2 like that, actually, here's a link to the code:

https://github.com/emacstheviking/gnuprolog-libsdl2

Here's how I built my executable...

gplc \
-C -I/Library/Frameworks/SDL2.framework/Headers \
-C -I/Library/Frameworks/SDL2_ttf.framework/Headers \
-C -I/Library/Frameworks/SDL2_mixer.framework/Headers \
-C -I/Library/Frameworks/SDL2_image.framework/Headers \
-L -framework SDL2 -L -framework SDL2_ttf -L -framework \
SDL2_image -L -framework SDL2_mixer -o sdltest \
sdl-ffi.pl sdl.pl sdl_lib.c sdl_thread.c sdl_ttf.c sdl_mixer.c

Hope that helps, GNU Prolog is a sweet little thing!

:D

I decided to try the examples that comes with the source, but I get stuck:

How do one ensure that the compiler find the libraries? I have them in /usr/lib64.  I can't find a setting to tell the compiler where to look.
