I am trying to get my hands on a C++ library called dislin using ubuntu 14.04. The test provided by the developers is simply:
cpplink -c exa_cpp
And it compiles correctly. I've also built another script that compiles using the cpplink command. But when I type:
man cpplink
I get:
No manual entry for cpplink
And I am not able to compile this library using my g++ compiler which I just started to understand. So I am thinking some info on cpplink would help. I tried google and normal search routes but it seems like the name is just too common for search engines.
cpplink is a bash script located at $DISLIN/bin. The script links the necessary libraries to the g++ precompiler in order to get the program running and compiled. For more information you should only type
cpplink
Which outputs to:
