I've installed the Nana library and I've read from their website that the library needs some shared libraries to work.. So during linking (gcc) i need to put all links (-lXft, -l...).
Is there a solution to auto link shared libraries needed by Nana?
I am using ubuntu 18.04 and I've read that I can do that with Makefile but I haven't understood how.. I want to use Premake to organize my project so that I can say to Premake that it needs to include the Nana library and then Premake "smartly" find all shared libraries..
When I used Premake and I linked the Nana library (statically) the compiler gaves me a lot of errors...
all the errors say:
undefined reference to: X...
So I need to include all the shared libraries that Nana needs, but how?
gcc has no idea about inter-library dependencies. You need a build system (which would use gcc as the compiler) for that.
Now, the Nana library uses the CMake build system. Thus a good solution to the problem should be to get the authors of Nana to properly export the library's CMake targets, and distribute a .cmake file which you can then import if you also build with CMake.
Alternatively - perhaps such a CMake file already exists somewhere (I haven't been able to quickly find it though).
I would ask about this in the Nana forums.
