How to make custom libraries accessible?
- by Milen Bilyanov
I am trying to compile and install every custom module under it's own designated folder. (ex: /myApps/myLinux/compiled_app)
I had luck with python so far, where my python is compiled from source and lives in:
/myApps/myLinux/python2.5 and "python2.5" - /myApps/myLinux/python2.5.6-gcc463
so I can access this python through a wrapper script that sets the right environment.
The question is recently I had to compile and add something called gperf3.0.4. So now it lives:
/myApps/myLinux/gperf3.0 and "gperf3.0" - /myApps/myLinux/gperf3.0.4-gcc463
The question is: How will I point to this lib if some other app needs to access it? Is it done through the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable?
Thanks.
