gcc (using Makefile)

This guide shows how to compile the library and build executable programs using the library.

Install library

Uncompress the zip file, then compile & install the library using make command. (You don't need add "sudo" when installing in MinGW. Please remove "sudo" when in MinGW.)

% unzip urg_library-*.*.*.zip
% cd urg_library-*.*.* /
% make
% sudo make install 

The default installation directory on linux is /usr/local, on the subdirectories lib/, bin/ and bin/ respectively. Change the PREFIX variable on urg_library-*.*.* /Makefile if you need changing the installation location for these directories.

For example, to change installation directory to /usr/, edit urg_library-*.*.* /Makefile as follows:

PREFIX = /usr 

How to compile a program with the library

Compile command example for test.c file.

% gcc -I/usr/local/include/urg_c test.c -o test -lurg_c -lm

You can also use the urg_c-config compile script (installed with the library). The example above can be compiled as:

% gcc `urg_c-config --cflags` test.c -o test `urg_c-config --libs` -lm
