cannot find library in makefile

Hello,

I keep getting the following error message when I try and include the libraries.
The path to the libraries is correct I have double checked.

Can anyone tell me if I am missing something there.

many thanks,

Code:

---

make: Circular tb_eng.o <- tb_eng.o dependency dropped.
make: Circular resources.o <- resources.o dependency dropped.
gcc -Wall -ggdb -O0 -D_DEBUG tb_eng.o resources.o -o engine -L/opt/tb/lib/release/i568-linux -ltbstreamserver -lbtxstream -ltbxmedia -ltbxappsutil -ltbxhost
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltbstreamserver

And you definitely have a libtbstreamserver (.a or .so) somewhere in your system?

Yes have double checked this.

The library is called:
libtbstreamserver.a
libtbstreamserver.so.2.1

This is the path:
/opt/tb/lib/release/i586-linux

Thanks

if you do "file libtbstreamserver" (add suitable path if needed), what does it output. And what does gcc -v output?

Sorry,

But I am not exactly sure what you want me to do? I am not sure I fully understand.

"file" is a command that shows you what the type of contents of a file is. In this case, I expect it to say that it's a ELF, shared librar, x86-64 or i386. I also want to know what architecture your gcc is building for, so posting the output of gcc -v will give me that info.

Hello,

Details below.

I have also discovered that if I delete -ltbstreamserver. It will error and say it can't find -lbtxstream. Which is the next one along.

Code:

---

[steve@localhost i586-linux]$ file libtbstreamserver.a
libtbstreamserver.a: current ar archive
[steve@localhost i586-linux]$ file libtbstreamserver.so.2.1
libtbstreamserver.so.2.1: symbolic link to `libtbstreamserver.so.2.1.11'

Thanks,

Ok, so we need the output of "file libtbstreamserver.so.2.1.11" now. Sorry, I should have thought of that.

Hello,

Thanks for your effort.
The problem was this: LIBS_PATH = -L/opt/tb/lib/release/i568-linux

It should be 586-linux.

I will always remember to check typos first.

Thanks,
