header files not found
« on: December 12, 2019, 07:37:21 pm »
System: Linux Mint 19
Code::Blocks 17.12 -flatpak-
Problem: after a missing libusb I've installed the libusb-1.0_dev. The necessary library is here:

/usr/include/libusb-1.0/libusb.h

I've added the path for the compiler: /usr/include/libusb-1.0
Compiling fails!
Buildlog:
gcc -Wall -pthread -I/usr/include/gtk-3.0 -I/usr/include/at-spi2-atk/2.0 -I/usr/include/at-spi-2.0 -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0 -I/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include -I/usr/include/gtk-3.0 -I/usr/include/gio-unix-2.0/ -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/libdrm -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/uuid -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/harfbuzz -I/usr/include/libpng16 -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/libpng16 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -Wall -pg -g -rdynamic -I/usr/include/gtk-3.0 -I/usr/include/gtk-3.0 -I/usr/include/libusb-1.0 -c /home/axel/Projects/Aqualampe_cb/callbacks.c -o obj/Debug/callbacks.o
In file included from /home/axel/Projects/Aqualampe_cb/callbacks.c:30:0:
/home/axel/Projects/Aqualampe_cb/callbacks.h:26:20: fatal error: libusb.h: No such file or directory
 #include <libusb.h>

By typing  #include "  in the editor I got a hugh list of known *.h files. But libusb.h wasn't in there. Where Code::Blocks got these list or build it? Maybe this is the problem?

Cheers, Panama

Code::Blocks doesn't work well/at all if packaged as a flatpak.
Please report this to the person which provided you the flatpak.
We cannot help you at the moment, because supporting flatpaks correctly requires a major redesign of our compiler plugin (at least) and we don't have the resources to do it at the moment.

Thank you obfuscated!

I'll try to install the distro package (it will be the 16.xx version).
I found another issue: the linker call has "-lusb" instead of "-llibusb". So the linking will fail.
Where got CodeBlocks these calls? I couldn't find any makefile for my project. Could you please explain or is it part of the flatpak?

Cheers, Panama

-lusb is correct. The linker would automatically prepend the lib when searching for the file.

Obfuscated: you are totaly right; with CB16.01 -distro package- it is working fine. And the libusb is obviously found.
-Thanks a million-
