[EXTERNAL] Re: [odb-users] Problem installing ODB 2.1.0 somewhere other than /usr/local/

[Stroud, Sean T]

Hi Boris,

Thanks for all your patience with this.  Unfortunately I am still getting errors, even with the latest command you provided.  Here is the script I use to build/install all the ODB libs:

#!/bin/ksh -v
pwd
ls
rm -rf local
mkdir local
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ststrou/ODB2.1/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
cd libodb-2.1.0
./configure --prefix=/home/ststrou/ODB2.1/local
make
make install
cd ../libodb-mysql-2.1.0
./configure --prefix=/home/ststrou/ODB2.1/local CPPFLAGS=-I/home/ststrou/ODB2.1/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/home/ststrou/ODB2.1/local/lib
make
make install

I invoke the above script from the /home/ststrou/ODB2.1/ directory.  The last "make install" command fails with " /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lodb ".  Below is the full output from running the script:

#!/bin/ksh -v

pwd

It works for *building* libodb-mysql but not for *installing* it since an installed library should not reference a non-installed one.

Sorry, I made a mistake in the command. Instead of ~/ODB2.1/libodb-2.1.0 in CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS it should have been ~/ODB2.1/local:

./configure --prefix=/home/ststrou/ODB2.1/local CPPFLAGS=-I/home/ststrou/ODB2.1/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/home/ststrou/ODB2.1/local/lib

Backslashes are used to break a long command into multiple lines, for better readability.

Modern linkers are quite tricky in this regard and may require a shared library to be loadable just to link it to another library.
See the -rpath-link ld option for details. So it is safer to just add /home/ststrou/ODB2.1/local/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH before building.

Note also that it is LD_LIBRARY_PATH, not LD_LIBRARY_FLAGS.
