Using Raspberry Pi libraries with Code::Blocks
« on: November 03, 2022, 03:58:58 pm »
Hi! Asking here as I feel like I have read every existing forum online, and still cannot figure out how to solve my problem:
I need to use a Raspberry Pi with Code::Blocks, and in order to do this I need to connect a library to Code::Blocks.
I want to use "pigpio", but no matter how I try, it doesn't seem to work. Has anyone experienced this before? On the Code::Blocks Wiki it says to
"Add the required paths for compiler and linker.", which is what I cannot seem to do. No site explains this in detail either.
Could anyone help me with this, aka give me a concrete tutorial? I would be forever grateful.

I'm new to this forum but hopefully the mods will let this one stay up, as this really is my last resort.

Read this for file names and location.

You must add /usr/local/lib to Search directories -> Linker and libpigpio.so to Linker settings -> Link libraries.

EDIT: add /usr/local/include to Search directories -> Compiler.
