I am trying to compile c-sources with the configure , make , make install

  • 0

I am trying to compile c-sources with the configure, make, make install trilogy.

Since I want to compile the sources so that they use another library (XYZ) that is not used by default, I can specify that with a

./configure --with-XYZ=yes

However, for the moment, XYZ is not installed in a default location, so I guess I can specify the path to the location of XYZ with that same configure script. If my guess is right, I’d appreciate if someone could point me towards the right direction of how to do that.

    Specify the library path on the command line like this:

    ./configure --with-XYZ=yes LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/xyz
