How do I get g++ to recognize a library i’ve installed with pacman?

If you have read the template this is not a general technical help forum. Something like this can be easily solved with a very basic google search.
If pacman has installed them in the usual place the g++ expects libraries to be like /usr/lib
or some such default directory then you don’t have to do anything. However if they are installed in a special directory. Like the avr libs are installed in /usr/avr
this is obviously non standard and g++ doesn’t know about this it needs to be pointed to these headers and libs.
To view what file is kept where do a,
pacman -Ql pkgname
This will give you path of every file this package installed in your system.
The easiest way to maintain such special directories would be to write a cmake file for including them. If you don’t want to you can directly just pass them to g++ using flags from command line. For example,
g++ cppfile.cpp -I/path/to/headers
this tells g++ to look for headers in places other than standard paths (/usr/include
). There are similarly more such flags to tell g++ to look for libraries in paths other than standard path (/usr/lib
) and link them in a project yes you need to tell compiler to link your non standard libs search for them with any search engine.
