wiringPi.h not found

[congia]

Hi, I just installed Wiring Pi and typing "gpio" confirmed it installed fine.

I'm trying to compile blink.c with

Code: Select all

gcc -Wall -o blink blink.c -lwiringPi

(http://wiringpi.com/examples/blink/) and I'm getting

Code: Select all

blink.c:1:22: fatal error: wiringpi.h: No such file or directory

I ran the find command and got:

Code: Select all

sudo find / -name wiringPi.h
/home/pi/WiringPi2-Python/WiringPi/wiringPi/wiringPi.h
/home/pi/wiringPi/wiringPi/wiringPi.h
/usr/local/include/wiringPi.h
/usr/include/wiringPi.h

wiringPi.h is already included in the default include folder but it isn't getting picked up by GCC. How can I fix this problem?

Thanks

Use the -L option of gcc to add the path to the required file (see its man page or got to http://linux.die.net/man/1/gcc). Alternatively you could also define LIBRARY_PATH such that there was a common search list for all your software development.

Definitely gonna look at those. I found my problem though, it was pretty stupid actually. I was missing the capital 'P' in 'wiringPi'. Thank you for your reply.

Have you run

Code: Select all

sudo -i
cd wiringPi # the directory where you downloaded it
./build
exit

Hey, it was my stupidity. I didn't capitalise the P in wiringPi.h. Everything is working fine now. Thanks for the help.
