copied!<p>As a general answer to this question to get <em>any</em> sdk to work, you need to do three things:</p> <ul> <li><code>#include</code> the appropriate headers in your source so that the compiler can check you've used the right functions and the linker knows which symbols you're refering to.</li> <li>Tell the compiler where your header files are. You can do this with gcc using <code>gcc -I/path/to/header/dir</code>.</li> <li>Tell the linker where the libs are that are to be compiled in and to include them. Again, using gcc, you do this with <code>gcc -L/path/to/library/dir</code> and you tell gcc (well, ld) to link to a specific library using <code>gcc -lnamewithoutlibprefix</code> (lowercase l).</li> </ul> <p>As an example for a library I use a lot, MPIR, against the /opt tree, I might compile like this:</p> <pre><code>gcc -I/opt/include -L/opt/lib -lmpir myprog.c -o myprog </code></pre> <p>That's just an example and is very Linux-specific. In truth, MPIR is installed in /usr and I don't need to do this, I'm just picking on it by way of example here.</p> <p>For Windows, take a look at <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/73f9s62w%28VS.80%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">cl /I</a>, and <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y0zzbyt4.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">LINK.EXE options</a>.</p> <p>Of course, you can automate this process under a number of different development environments. Visual Studio, for example, will generate the correct command lines for you if you fill in the right dialog boxes. So I believe will Eclipse and I know Dev/C++ can, too.</p>
