I'm facing some issues when linking my c++ program, here is what I do :
g++ tp.cpp -llpsolve55 -lcolamd -ldl -o MyExe
and the command-line return me this :
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llpsolve
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
But I've already installed lpsolve, it appear in Synapatic as installed and I even installed it via the terminal
If /usr/lib/lp_solve is not in the normal search path for libraries, you can add that path to your executeable when linking. Also note that libraries should typically come last:
g++ -o MyExe tp.cpp -L /usr/lib/lp_solve -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/lp_solve -llpsolve55 -lcolamd
The -L argument adds the directory to the list of directories to look for libraries in when doing the linking.
-Wl tells the compiler to pass on what follows to the linker.
The linkers -rpath,<path> argument tells it to add <path> to MyExe so it can find the library when you later run the program.
