libraries not created:cppunit/lib folder empt

[cppunittest]

I compiled cppunit package under linux.
On doing a 'make' i am supposed to have the *.so files created in the /lib folder

But to my surprise its empty...

Am I missing something... I guess i would need these files to be able to create executables from CPPUNIT. i.e i would say the following :

%> g++ -L/home/<name>/cppunit/lib -o test *.o    
        -lCppUnit

Any ideas/help ...

eagerly waiting...

OK I figured out myself ...

On compiling the cppunit package, the libraries were created at: /usr/local/bin/

ie: /usr/local/bin/libcppunit.la
/usr/local/bin/libcppunit.so
/usr/local/bin/libcppunit.2.0.so

But now I have another question?

I have a bunch of .cpp files and I ran the following:

(1) g++ -I/<path to *.h files> test1.cpp
    g++ -I/<path to *.h files> test2.cpp

On doing the above, I have bunch of object-files created (*.o)

(2) Now I am trying to create an executable:

g++ -L/<path to *.so files> -o tester *.o
-lcppunit

On doing the above I get bunch of errors saying that 'dclose' ... not in libcppunit file

QUESTIONS:
``````````
(1) Any ideas/suggestions on getting rid of this error.

(2) Can anyone tell me if I am using the correct switches while creating the executable
i.e Is -lcppunit  correct??

(3) I also came cross another switch
"-lcppunitrunner" .. Is this valid too?

NOTE: The above switches were obtained from the "Crash course in CppUnit" doc. on internet

Waiting ...
