Unable to use Loudmouth library after installation

[Arpan]

I installed the loudmouth library using the 'apt-get' utility.

What do i need to "#include" while writing my own code in order to use
the loudmouth library? Or do i pass it as an option during
compilation?

The example on the website had "#include <loudmouth.h>" on top but I
can't find that file anywhere.

Thanks

Arpan,

I usually build from source, but I would suspect that Debian/Ubuntu
would put the includes under '/usr/include/loudmouth-1.0'.

Try adding these compiler flags: " -I/usr/linclude/loudmouth-1.0
-lloudmouth-1"

Also (at least from src), the headers are under
{PREFIX}/loudmouth-1.0/loudmouth. so my includes look like:
#include <loudmouth/loudmouth.h>

Worst case, run 'locate loudmouth.h' and just use the entire path in
the include.

Hope that helps.

Read about pkg-config. The whole compilation will go somewhat like this:
cc `pkg-config --libs --cflags loudmouth-1.0` code.c
the `pkg-config` will generate appropriate compiler flags.
