ld: library not found

Question

I\'m trying to build a project that depends on SDL2 library. I\'ve installed and linked it using homebrew:

> ls /usr/local/lib | grep SDL2
libSDL2-2.0.0.d         


        

Answer 1

I fixed the issue by adding /usr/local/lib to my $LIBRARY_PATH:

For bash, in ~/.bash_profile:

export LIBRARY_PATH="$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib"

And for fish shell, in ~/.config/fish/config.fish:

set -g -x LIBRARY_PATH $LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib
