"'portaudio.h' file not found" error in XCode 5.1 - c

I've downloaded the portaudio codebase and compiled it fully with source, and installed it to my system with these commands:
./configure
make
sudo make install
But XCode is complaining to me, even when I put -lportaudio in the Other Linker Flags for the project settings.
I've researched this problem and tried whatever I could find on Stack Overflow, but there was no decisive answer that would work for me. Any advice on how to fix this?

I'm using an older version of XCode and haven't bothered looking at how the interface might have changed in the newer versions, but this is generally solved for me by modifying the User Search Paths under your project settings. Look at the screenshot, add /usr/local/include to Header Search Paths and make Always Search User Paths "Yes." That should do the trick
Edit:
One more thing to note, this is only /usr/local/include because that's the default install directory for the portaudio.h file in the portaudio build (as it is with many libraries).
If you have a different prefix other than /usr/local/include, add that instead.

Creating CMake project for libwebsocket

The title states the problem statement: I'm trying to create a CMake project utilizing the libwebsocket library, but I can't find any information for doing so.
Is there anyone who have tried this? A simple CMakeLists.txt for e.g. the test-server program would be much appreciated!
I've compiled and installed the library on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine.
EDIT: I would also like to know if anyone has experience in using the libwebsocket lib w/ C++?
EDIT 2:
After using #evadeflow's answer I'm able to run cmake and build the project. However now I get the following runtime error:
And here's an ls of the /usr/local/lib/ folder
It seems like the libwebsockets.so.7 file is not found?
From CMake:
${LIB_WEBSOCKETS_INCLUDE_DIRS} = /usr/local/lib
${LIB_WEBSOCKETS_INSTALL_DIR} = /usr/local
EDIT 3:
Solved edit 2 by:
Editing the file /etc/ld.so.conf and add /usr/local/lib.
Reference: https://lonesysadmin.net/2013/02/22/error-while-loading-shared-libraries-cannot-open-shared-object-file/
If you've already installed libwebsockets, something like this ought to work:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
find_package(PkgConfig)
pkg_check_modules(LIB_WEBSOCKETS REQUIRED libwebsockets)
get_filename_component(
LIB_WEBSOCKETS_INSTALL_DIR
${LIB_WEBSOCKETS_LIBRARY_DIRS}
DIRECTORY
)
add_executable(
test-server
test-server/test-server.c
test-server/test-server-http.c
test-server/test-server-dumb-increment.c
test-server/test-server-mirror.c
test-server/test-server-status.c
test-server/test-server-echogen.c
)
target_link_libraries(
test-server
${LIB_WEBSOCKETS_LIBRARIES}
)
set_target_properties(
test-server
PROPERTIES
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
${LIB_WEBSOCKETS_INCLUDE_DIRS}
LINK_FLAGS
"-L${LIB_WEBSOCKETS_LIBRARY_DIRS}"
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
INSTALL_DATADIR="${LIB_WEBSOCKETS_INSTALL_DIR}/share"
)
This is basically a stripped-down version of what's in the CMakeLists.txt file from the libwebsockets github project, without all the platform- and build-specific conditionals.
I hope this is enough to satisfy your request for a 'simple' CMakeLists.txt example. I tested it with CMake version 2.8.12.2; it should work fine as-is if you've installed libwebsockets to its default prefix of /usr/local; however, if you installed to a different location, you will need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH in the environment from which you invoke cmake.
Also, as explained in the CMake documentation, you will need to replace DIRECTORY with PATH in the get_filename_component() invocation if you're using CMake 2.8.11 or earlier.
UPDATE: Regarding the file not found error from your follow-up comment, this is almost certainly due to libwebsocket.so[.7] not being on the linker's default path. There are at least three ways to fix this, but the easiest way to verify that this is the problem would be to just launch the app from the terminal using:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./test-server
If it works, you know that was the issue. (Oops—I see you've figured it out in the meantime. Yeah, updating /etc/ld.so.conf is another way. Or, you can force CMake to link to the static version of libwebsockets [as described in this answer] is another. But I like your solution best.)
UPDATE: One thing that wasn't mentioned about /etc/ld.so.conf is that you generally need to run sudo /sbin/ldconfig after editing it in order to update the shared library cache. And—when setting non-default paths for a particular application—many people consider it good form to add a new 'sub-config file' in /etc/ld.so.conf.d rather than edit the global ldconfig file. (For the case of adding /usr/local/lib, though, this is such a common requirement I'd be inclined to dump it in the global config, which is what lots of Linux distros do, anyway.)

Where is my "stdio.h" in Mac?

I know that Mac OS X is a Unix-based system. And I heard that C standard library such as stdio.h, is located in /usr/local/include or /usr/include. But there is not any kind of library in this directory. I use Terminal to search this directory and I also use command like find ./ -iname "stdio.h", but nothing comes out. However, strangely enough, gcc -test.c -o test command works out. How did it happen? I want to know where my C library is located.
p.s I also use Xcode, too. Is it related with this application? help me!
And I have AWS EC2 linux server, and it has both libraries that i refereed above.
If you have Xcode but have not installed the optional Command Line Tools package then the standard includes and libraries may not be found in the usual place. Try:
$ find /Applications/Xcode.app -name stdio.h
and you'll probably see something like:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1/tr1/stdio.h
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/usr/include/stdio.h
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/usr/include/sys/stdio.h
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1/tr1/stdio.h
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/usr/include/stdio.h
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/usr/include/sys/stdio.h
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Kernel.framework/Versions/A/Headers/sys/stdio.h
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1/tr1/stdio.h
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/usr/include/stdio.h
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/usr/include/sys/stdio.h
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1/tr1/stdio.h
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/usr/include/stdio.h
However you might want to install the Command Line Tools package if you plan on doing any non-Xcode (i.e. command line) programming. You will then see the usual headers and libraries in /usr/include and /usr/lib.
If you don't have Command Line Tools installed you can run:
xcode-select --install
A dialogue box opens for you to accept the license agreement and so on.
(This was missing from the above responses.)
create/update a symlink for /usr/include to have the libs detected:
sudo ln -sf /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/include /usr/include
The above path can be found by searching for stdio.h
find /Applications/Xcode.app -path '*/usr/include/stdio.h'
I have to do this with every XCode/MacOS SDK update, Faced this today with the XCode 7 upgrade.
Once the command line tools are installed, they cannot be re-installed with xcode-select, so the path may not be updated with a Mac AppStore upgrade.
Uninstalling & Reinstalling XCode and then running xcode-select --install might update the path, but is an overkill.
Some posts also mention xcode-select --switch /Application/Xcode.app, but I didn't have much luck with it.
The root reason is missing the /usr/include folder, installing command-line tools sometimes will not automatically add it.
Install the package at
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
In my laptop it appears in many locations like /usr/include/stdio.h and /usr/include/sys/stdio.h and /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/usr/include/stdio.h.
If you already built your locate database, you can use
locate stdio.h
If you haven't already, build it. The locate command is awesome!
Due to Apple's new System Integrity Protection (SIP), you will run into this error when attempting the solution of creating/updating a symlink to /usr/include
ln: /usr/include: Operation not permitted
Instead of disabling SIP, the better way to do it is to create symlinks in /usr/local/include instead, e.g.
ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/* /usr/local/include/
This works for people who have already installed CommandLineTools and was unable to find stdio.h inside /usr/include
In the folder
Applications/Xcode/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/usr/include
or similar.
I have installed "CommandLineTools", and the "stdio.h" file exist in both Xcode and CommandLineTools diretory.
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk/usr/include/stdio.h
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/usr/include/stdio.h
This is my path for C/C++ library in M1 Mac 2022
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/v1

Xcode cannot find installed library

I am using Mac OS X 10.8 with Xcode. I have installed the jansson library, with the following commands:
./configure
make
make check
sudo make install
Everything went fine and the library installed correctly. I have created a smple .c file with a text editor and tried to include the <jansson.h> file. I builded everything and it gave no errors, meaning that the library is installed on my system.
Now, Xcode doesn't find the library at all, saying that <jansson.h> is not found. I have tried to restart my Mac, but nothing happens. If anyone knows a possible solution, I will be grateful. Thanks!
I resolved the issue, by going under Build phases, and searching for HEADER_SEARCH_PATH. Then I changed the search path label with /usr/local/include, where the library was installed.

How do I link libraries in Xcode 4?

I'm a complete beginner to Apple's Xcode, but I have followed the Xcode documentation and the advice of a few related questions without success.
I installed GMP to /usr/local/bin, wrote a short program using the library, and compiled with gcc main.c -lgmp. It compiled with no warnings or errors, and the executable worked flawlessly.
I started a new Xcode project (Command Line Tool; Type: C), copied the code to the newly created main.c, and opened the project build settings. From there I set Linking > Other Linker Flags to -lgmp and Search Paths > Library Search Paths to /usr/local/bin. However, the build fails with the preprocessor error "Gmp.h: No such file or directory".
I have tried almost every header imaginable:
#include "gmp.h"
#include <gmp.h>
#include "gmp"
#include "libgmp.a" . . .
This has been my main obstacle over the last three months which has prevented me from learning C. Any help leading me to an eventual solution would be greatly appreciated.
There's a few things you have to set up in your Xcode project. For example, I have gmp installed in /opt/gmp/5.0.2 and I will use that as an example. The actual library is installed into /opt/gmp/5.0.2/lib and the header files into /opt/gmp/5.0.2/include. When installing the library setting the --PREFIX flag to /opt/gmp/5.0.2 would handle this automatically. If you don't set this flag the prefix is usually set to /usr/local by default.
The Other Linker Flags looks right, it should be the name of the library.
Set the Header Search Path to the include directory, in my case /opt/gmp/5.0.2/include.
Set the Library Search Path to the lib directory, in my case /opt/gmp/5.0.2/lib.
Since the header search path has been set, you should now be able to include the header file like this:
#include <gmp.h>
Of course, replace /opt/gmp/5.0.2 with the PREFIX path you used when you installed gmp.
Lastly, you typically don't install libraries to /usr/local/bin, you would install to /usr/localand let any binaries be installed into bin while libraries like these would be installed into lib. Of course any path scheme would work, I usually recommend /opt/<project-name>/<version-number> since it allows me to keep better track of what I have installed and have multiple versions of the same libraries and tools without having to deal with collisions.
I have updated my system from snow leopard to mountain lion and had to install gmp.
First of all I have installed Xcode CommandLineTools set.
Secondly, installed Homebrew. Then with it I have done steps in this topic: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/38222/how-do-i-install-gcc-via-homebrew
In my last step, made changes to an xcode project as colleague Marcus Karlsson told.
It's finally working! Very big Thank You :)

Any possible way to use Tokyo Cabinet in Eclipse?

Just spend 3 straight hours trying to solve the java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jtokyocabinet in java.library.path problem in Eclipse in Linux.
Downloaded TC and TC-Java sources,
Built them both using ./config --prefix=/usr (so everything "JNI" related should be in /usr/lib)
Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib and CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/lib/tokyocabinet.jar" and exported both in .profile
Imported tokyocabinet.jar into the project.
Am I missing a setting other than the proper -Djava.library.path=. settings? I can't even find anything on the net about jtokyocabinet on the web or in the documentation. What's the secret sauce to getting this thing to work?
try to make a link to libjtokyocabinet.so...0 in your JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/i386.
it is because your code can not find tokyocabinet's *.so and *.a files, usually they are in /usr/local/lib, run the following command:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
and then try your code again.
Have the same problem, in my case, using OpenSUSE 12.3 64 bits and Eclipse.
First, the kyotocabinet-java package can be downloaded from this repository:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/libraries:/c_c++/openSUSE_12.3/
This package provide /usr/lib64/libjkyotocabinet.so.1.1.0 that is the library used by the kyotocabinet jar you can get from maven or the official site.
Looking for this lib I found that there is created a slink:
xxxx#xxxx:/usr/lib64> ls -al /usr/lib64/libjkyoto*
/usr/lib64/libjkyotocabinet.so.1 -> libjkyotocabinet.so.1.1.0
/usr/lib64/libjkyotocabinet.so.1.1.0
I just created a new slink without the ".1" at the end...
sudo ln -s libjkyotocabinet.so.1.1.0 libjkyotocabinet.so
/usr/lib64/libjkyotocabinet.so -> /usr/lib64/libjkyotocabinet.so.1.1.0
And all worked alright, seems that
System.loadLibrary("jkyotocabinet");
don't work if the library name is ended with something different to ".so"
Yes, you're missing something. Eclipse controls its own classpath, so whatever you set up in the environment outside Eclipse is likely not to have any effect.
You need to go into the properties for your project, find the "Build Path" settings and add the path to your tc.jar (or jars) to your build path there.
It may be easier to set up a /lib directory within your eclipse project, copy your tokyo jar there and add that to your build path. That way, it becomes part of your project (and can move from Eclipse installation to Eclipse installation) rather than being an external system dependency.
