To compile a libtranslate module, you need to tell the compiler where to find the libtranslate header files. This is done with the pkg-config utility.
For instance, to compile a libtranslate Hello World module, you would type the following:
$ cc `pkg-config --cflags libtranslate` -shared -fPIC hello.c -o hello.so
To compile a libtranslate module using GNU
Autoconf, GNU
Automake and GNU
Libtool, insert the following line at the
appropriate place in the configure.ac
file:
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBTRANSLATE, libtranslate,, [AC_MSG_ERROR([unable to find libtranslate])])
and insert the following lines in the appropriate
Makefile.am
file:
modulesdir = $(libdir)/libtranslate/modules modules_LTLIBRARIES = hello.la hello_la_SOURCES = hello.c hello_la_CPPFLAGS = $(LIBTRANSLATE_CFLAGS) hello_la_LDFLAGS = -avoid-version -module
libtranslate loads modules from
(where prefix
/libtranslate/modulesprefix
is the prefix where
libtranslate is installed) and from
(where ~
/.libtranslate/modules~
is the path to your home
directory). Filenames not having the system-specific shared
object extension (usually .so) are ignored.
