Hopefully this is an easy question:
I am building an application with Qt and would like to use Google’s Protocol Buffers. I have downloaded and installed the protobuf source, now I want to link against it in my project.
My .pro file contains the line:
LIBS += -L/usr/local/lib -libprotobuf
However, I get the error:
:: error: library not found for -llibprotobuf
when trying to compile.
I am assuming that I am doing something rather basic wrong. Thanks for any help!
Assuming the file is
libprotobuf.[so|a], the correct library link command is-lprotobuf(the lib prefix is implied)
