Create Symbolic Link
Create installed libraries to under "/usr/local" by symbolic link.
Terminal
// /usr/local/bin # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/bin/protoc /usr/local/bin/ // /usr/local/include/google # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/include/google/protobuf /usr/local/include/google/ // /usr/local/lib # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/libprotobuf.a /usr/local/lib/ # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/libprotobuf.la /usr/local/lib/ # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/libprotobuf-lite.a /usr/local/lib/ # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/libprotobuf-lite.la /usr/local/lib/ # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/libprotobuf-lite.so /usr/local/lib/ # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/libprotobuf-lite.so.20 /usr/local/lib/ # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/libprotobuf-lite.so.20.0.0 /usr/local/lib/ # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/libprotobuf.so /usr/local/lib/ # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/libprotobuf.so.20 /usr/local/lib/ # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/libprotobuf.so.20.0.0 /usr/local/lib/ # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/libprotoc.a /usr/local/lib/ # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/libprotoc.la /usr/local/lib/ # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/libprotoc.so /usr/local/lib/ # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/libprotoc.so.20 /usr/local/lib/ # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/libprotoc.so.20.0.0 /usr/local/lib/ // /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/pkgconfig/protobuf-lite.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ # ln -s /usr/local/protobuf/3_9_0/lib/pkgconfig/protobuf.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
Set Environment Variable
Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH variables is useful when building or executing other sources.
When copying or creating a symbolic link the library installed under /usr/local, it is recommended to set it.
Terminal
$ vim ~/.bash_profile
.bash_profile
... export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH ...
If you want to load shared libraries in the system, create a file which is wrote "/usr/local/lib" under /etc/ld.so.conf.d.
Terminal
# echo /usr/local/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/usr_local_lib.conf # ldconfig # ldconfig -v
Error Handling
autogen.sh: 37: ./autogen.sh: autoreconf: not found
Need to install Autoconf.
