[FIXED] Linking CPR C++ library with OMNET++

Issue

I have succesfully installed OMNET++ and now I want to link OMNET with a REST API library called CPR. Usually, in Eclipse (Which OMNET++ is based on) I would do the linking something like project properties->C/C++ build->Settings->GCC C++ Linker->Libraries->[-l section]. Now in OMNET I have tried linking it by going to Project -> Properties -> Makemake -> Options -> Additional Libraries to link with (-l option) and include: cpr.

But it returns an error:

ld.lld error: unable to find library -lcpr

Thanks a lot for your help.

Solution

The cpr library should be on your library path (i.e. usually on /usr/lib). Otherwise you must specify also the -L option to specify the directory where that given library is.
