[Libcgi-general] compiling flags

[Elf K. <el...@go...>]

let's say you have a my_cgi1.c as the program source then:

gcc -o my_cgi my_cgi1.c -lcgi

will do the trick.  This assumes that libcgi.a exists in /lib, /usr/lib
or /usr/local/lib.  If it's sitting somewhere else, e.g. let's say you
installed the
cgi library in /opt/cgi then includes would be in /opt/cgi/include and
library would be in /opt/cgi/lib/libcgi.a
then you have to add the directory containing the library as so:

gcc -I/opt/cgi/include -o my_cgi my_cgi1.c -L/opt/cgi/lib -lcgi

Hope this helps
