Question

I am trying to compile a C++ code in a Ubuntu 12.04 OS using a make file. My code requires libxml2 and sqlite3. I have installed the packages using the Synaptics Package manager. However, now I do not know the path of the header(.h) files and shared object library (.so) files.

Is there a default location for these?

Thanks

Answer 1

There are default locations — /usr/include for headers, /usr/lib for libraries — meaning that you do not have to specify them in the Makefile.

But do make sure you have the corresponding -dev packages libsqlite3-dev and libxml2-dev installed!
