Linux

Hello!

I have a set of headers and libraries I want to use but they are mixed with ones I do not want to use. They are part of some official stuff, so I cannot modify them while begging and pleading for weeks.

These headers and libraries are located here
/long/official/path/to/include
/long/official/path/to/lib

respectively

Inside the "include" directory there is another directory "goodies" which is outdated. I have a private version of goodies located
/latest/greatest/include/goodies
that I compiled to produce
/latest/greatest/lib/libGoodies
but I had to compile this against the /long/official/path/to/include headers.

Now I want to use all of this to compile a program. I want all of headers and libs in /long/official/path/to/ but I want goodies from /latest/greatest/

When I compile I use
-I/latest/greatest/include -L//latest/greatest/lib/ -lGoodies -I/long/official/path/to/include -L /long/official/path/to/lib -lThis -That -lLotsMore

and it complains that a function in /latest/greatest/lib/libGoodies.so has undefined references which are files that are located in /long/official/path/to/include

I tried
-I/latest/greatest/include -I/long/official/path/to/include -L/latest/greatest/lib/ -lGoodies -L /long/official/path/to/lib -lThis -That -lLotsMore
but the errors persist...

If you have followed this far, can you please tell me how to fix this. Its driving me NUTS!!!

Thanks!
