问题
While compiling my program which is using libevent library I am using gcc option -levent. But I am getting this error -
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -levent
I do not have libevent on my system so I am statically linking to it while compiling using
gcc -o Hello -static -I libevent-1.4.12-stable/ hello.c -levent
How can i resolve this?
Thanks in advance!
回答1:
Where is the libevent.(a|so) file on your system?
If it isn't on your system's library path then you will have to add a -L option adding its location to the list of paths searched by the linker for libraries.
e.g.
gcc -L/folder/containing/event/lib -levent mysource.cc

You need to have the libevent on your system or need to specify its path explicitly (if its a third-party library you got with the headers).
I suspect its not in your default /lib paths.
