How to add libraries path to the ./configure command?
I would like ./configure to link to a library and some include files. My library is stored in /home/foo/sw/lib/ and my files are stored in /home/foo/sw/include.
./configure --help throws out the following:
Some influential environment variables:
CC C compiler command
CFLAGS C compiler flags
LDFLAGS linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
nonstandard directory <lib dir>
LIBS libraries to pass to the linker, e.g. -l<library>
CPPFLAGS (Objective) C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if
you have headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
CPP C preprocessor
I have tried various combinations:
./configure --prefix=/home/foo/sw -I</home/foo/sw/include> -L</home/foo/sw/lib/>
./configure --prefix=/home/foo/sw -I=/home/foo/sw/include -L=/home/foo/sw/lib/
./configure --prefix=/home/foo/sw -I/home/foo/sw/include -L/home/foo/sw/lib/
etc..
But I can't seem to get the syntax right. If anyone can help me out, that would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

You missed the meaning of
Some influential environment variables:
So you set them as an environment variable; configure determines LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS by checking config files and the environment. You can set them like this ...
export CPPFLAGS='-I/home/foo/sw/include'
export LDFLAGS='-L/home/foo/sw/lib/'
./configure
or as a one-liner:
env CPPFLAGS='-I/home/foo/sw/include' LDFLAGS='-L/home/foo/sw/lib/' ./configure
Please note that it is possible that you cannot use subdirectories under /home/foo/sw/lib/
f.e. putting your library in /home/foo/sw/lib/bar/ might show you a lib not founderror.
However you can use multiple entries:
LDFLAGS="-L/home/foo/sw/lib -L/home/foo/bar/lib"

Maybe CPPFLAGS='-I/home/foo/sw/include:$CPPFLAGS' just in case something is out there ;)

Hi, Rinzwind. I am confused about the difference betweenLDFLAGS=-LandLIBS=-l. According to the help, they seems to be the same thing. Is there any difference?
