I compiled and built the casablanca c++ rest library in my home directory where my absolute path to the necessary .so file was /home/dev/casablanca/Release/build.release/Binaries/libcpprest.so
. What I wanted to do was to simply cp
and past that .so file to /usr/lib/..
path to default lib search ../
so that I could easily link it with the following command:
g++ index.cpp -I/home/dev/casablanca/Release/include -lcpprest -std=c++11
which compiled fine, but when I ran ./a.out I got the typical runtime error:
couldn't load shared library: libcpprest.so
even after adding the default path of libcpprest.so to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
However everything worked just fine if I linked the directory where the binary was originally created at:
// ./a.out runs just fine
g++ index.cpp -I/home/dev/casablanca/Release/include \
-L/home/dev/casablanca/Release/build.release/Binaries -lcpprest -std=c++11
I'm guessing that the reason why I can't simply move the .so object where I want to add it is somehow the compiler keeps references to it somehow. How can I install this binary in a different path?
The section you are referring to is tuned by the rpath switch:
g++ -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/lib ...
I did compile casablanca on my linux debian ( https://git01.codeplex.com/casablanca ) with procedure https://casablanca.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Setup%20and%20Build%20on%20Linux&referringTitle=Documentation
after compilation i get a libcpprest.so with that (objdump) :
SONAME libcpprest.so.2.2
so you might want to copy libcpprest.so.2.2 to /usr/lib/libcpprest.so.2.2
or use ldconfig tool to do so.
looking into Release/build.release/Binaries you will find :
libcpprest.so -> libcpprest.so.2.2
libcpprest.so.2.2
then libcpprest.so is just a link , real library is libcpprest.so.2.2
