How to install a library in c++ properly?

Hi Josaphat_Diaz, 

There is not an easy answer to your question, which would fully answer it. I would recommend you to learn more about C++ in general. There is good literature and also videos you can find online. This would be something you learn in a course about C++ in university for example.

But I attached a little example for you. In this example I edited the hello.world example from the ctrlX Automation SDK and instead for printing out directly something to the logbook I used my self-created shared library (libSharedLibrary.so). Some things you need to do, so it will work:

• link the library in the CMakeLists
• include the header (interface description of the library) in your main.cpp
• include the library in your snap (so it is available at runtime)
• possibly change the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH (see also this post in the community)

Best regards, 

Nick
