Linux linker flag -lXi not finding lib when compiling Lazarus code

After I solved my first problem I got into another one. Looks like I'm missing some kind of library, making the linker complain that the -lXi is not working.

I've included most of the Xorg devel packages, what more do I need?

Solution

  • When linking to "-lXi" the compiler looks for a file with name starting with "libXi.so" (followed by some version number). The command 

    locate libXi.so | xargs rpm -qf | sort -u

    gives

    libXi-1.1.3-4.fc9.i386
libXi-1.1.3-4.fc9.x86_64
libXi-debuginfo-1.1.3-4.fc9.x86_64
libXi-devel-1.1.3-4.fc9.x86_64

    on my Fedora 10 system, so you are probably missing the libXi-devel package.
