Run Program won't find my local shared libraries...

[jiapei100]

Hi,


My Error message from terminal:

Code: Select all

./mytest: error while loading shared libraries: libsmtest.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Press ENTER to continue...

And what's shown in the Output View of CodeLite 9.1.7

Code: Select all

Current working directory: .../bin
Running program: /usr/bin/codelite_xterm './mytest ' '/bin/sh -f /usr/bin/codelite_exec LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/usr/lib32 [b]./mytest[/b]'
Program exited with return code: 0

However, I did add a relative path ../../lib into

Code: Select all

Project->Settings->Libraries Search Path

. It looks from the above that only the folder under current project is added to library search path when run the program. I wonder

• Why CodeLite does NOT automatically/defaultly add my Libraries Search Path into the program search path during link/build when I try to run the program ?
• How to add my own Libraries Search Path from within CodeLite IDE?

Cheers

Adding your library path in the project path does not affect the runtime linker search path.
You should either add the location of your library paths to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or build your program with proper RPATH (the recommended way, if you ask me)

Yup, Eran:

I understand that... I can definitely reset LD_LIBRARY_PATH by command line "export"
However, Where is the exactly place for me to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH from within CodeLite IDE?
Also, where is the exactly place for me to set RPATH from within CodeLite IDE??


I modified my Link Options to

Code: Select all

-rpath-link=../../lib;$(shell wx-config   --libs --unicode=yes)

, the following is what I obtained:

unrecognized command line option '-rpath-link=../../lib'

I actually tried both

-rpath-link

and

-rpath

already, NEITHER succeeded.


Thank you

What is more:

I believe there is an easier way for the users to deal with automatically add user's Libraries Search Path into LD_LIBRARY_PATH or RPATH temporarily.
For instance, QtCreator, it can deal with such cases. Users do NOT need to add some particular settings, but ONLY specify LIBS += -Lfolder , then, libraries under folder can be called during RUN.

So, I just wonder, if CodeLite will bring this convenience in the future?

Why are you adding relative path to the rpath? I am pretty sure that this is not the standard way of doing things.
You should install your application properly, for example:
the shared libraries should go to /usr/local/lib/myapp and the binaries should go to /usr/local/bin
When building your application you should path to the linker:

Code: Select all

-Wrpath,/usr/local/lib/myapp

Changing CodeLite to hack your environment variables, is not the way to go... its just a hack to solve your problem
