I have written some Xwindows files would like to know how to compile them
tried this command

gcc -o main main.o -lXt -lX11

gives errors like could not find Xt & X11

help please

Compileis expecting where this libs are.

specify by -L option where Xt and X11 are.

It would be

gcc -o main main.o -lXt -lX11 -L$pathtoXt -L$pathtoX11

He He He Same Error buddy

Can we have all compilation commands you have for
targets main and main.o ?

here is the program
main.c
1 #include <X11/Intrinsic.h>
2 #include <Xm/Xm.h>
3 #include <Xm/Label.h>
4
5 XtAppContext context;
6 XmStringCharSet char_set = XmSTRING_DEFAULT_CHARSET;
7 Widget toplevel,label;
8
9 main(argc,argv)
10 int argc;
11 char* argv[];
12 {
13 Arg a1[10];
14 int ac = 0;
15 toplevel = XtAppInitialize(&context,"",NULL,0,&argc,argv,NULL,NULL,0);
16 label = XmCreateLabel(toplevel,"label",a1,ac);
17 XtmanageChild(label);
18 XtrealizeWidget(toplevel);
19 Xtmainloop();
20 }

after this:

cc -c main.c

cc -o main main.o -lXt -lX11 -L$pathtoXt -L$pathtoX11

Did u literally put as above ?


Could you find out where Xt and X11 exists. Please find out where those libs exists and then attach -L.

They may be having names libXt* and libX11*.
