Can't work with gloox library in ubuntu 12.04 64-bit

Question

Some time ago I installed gloox library with the command sudo apt-get install libgloox-dev. But it is not working in netbeans, for example. I noticed that there are only .h files (with only function declarations) in /usr/include/gloox directory. Need your help...

Answer 1

You need to configure your project dependencies in order to use a library. Are you able to access Gloox files using <> ? If yes the environment variable is set correctly (should be done automatically in Ubuntu)

The library (.so file) will be in /usr/local/lib. You need to link the project against it in your makefile. On netbeans I think it's on project properties->c++ compiler. Personally, I use Cmake to generate my makefiles

Answer 2

Try to download library from http://camaya.net/gloox/download and follow installation instructions.
