[Gumstix-users] Newbie on g++ and gpsd

[MarcusJ <n09...@st...>]

Hi, I feel a bit stupid asking this as it is probably a very simple thing and
I'm not sure this is the right place to ask for it.

However, I'm trying to build a program that talks to the GPS on my Gallop43.
I've installed the related packages availble through opkg and I try to write
a really simple test program to get started.
I usually don't do much programming in a linux environment so I'm
inexperienced when it comes to g++ and the build process.
Here I'm trying to build it natively on the gumstix. I've built a few small
things on the gumstix already but not something that makes  use of external
libraries.

In the code i include gps.h and try to use some functions from it. 
I try to compile by the simple command:
/# g++ testGps.c /
I get the following output:
//tmp/ccT3JlyM.o: In function `main':
testGps.c:(.text+0xc0): undefined reference to `gps_open_r'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status/

Here I'm expecting that the library contaning the functions isn't found so I
try to tell g++ where it is.
I run the following: 
/# g++ testGps.c -L /usr/lib/ -l libgps/
And get:
//usr/lib/gcc/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/4.3.3/../../../../arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld:
cannot find -llibgps
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status/

This makes me confused as the library seems to be in the right directory:
/# ls -la  /usr/lib/libgps*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    948 Sep 15  2010 /usr/lib/libgps.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 Mar 27 15:12 /usr/lib/libgps.so ->
libgps.so.19.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 Jan 22 22:09 /usr/lib/libgps.so.19 ->
libgps.so.19.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  65972 Sep 15  2010 /usr/lib/libgps.so.19.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root    989 Sep 15  2010 /usr/lib/libgpsd.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 Mar 27 15:12 /usr/lib/libgpsd.so ->
libgpsd.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 Jan 22 22:09 /usr/lib/libgpsd.so.0 ->
libgpsd.so.0.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 232840 Sep 15  2010 /usr/lib/libgpsd.so.0.0.0/

What am I doing wrong? Can anyone give me som guidance?

Thanks Marcus
