Subject: Makefile for lib64 libraries
I have just upgraded to 64-bit Fedora, and have a mysql appliation
where the build fails with:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient
I know that this is because the library is in lib64, and my Makefile.am
contains:
bin_PROGRAMS = scraperes
scraperes_SOURCES = main.cpp ...
AM_CPPFLAGS = -I/usr/include/mysql
AM_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient
I know I can edit this to have lib64, but what can I do to make it work
for both 64-bit and 32-bit operating systems?
Here's one way to do it:
LBITS := $(shell getconf LONG_BIT)
ifeq ($(LBITS),64)
AM_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/lib64/mysql -lmysqlclient
else
AM_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient
Endif
Regards,
Sanya
