Can't find library: "Xaw" problem

[Achilles_2]

I have a HP A500 server which is using 11.00, now I have installed cxterm which exports term for viewing Chinese fonts.
However, I am having a problem building "Id". During the compiling of the software:

making all in ./cxterm...
cc -O -Aa -Dhpux -DSYSV -D_HPUX_SOURCE -DHANZI -c HZpopup.c
cc -O -Aa -Dhpux -DSYSV -D_HPUX_SOURCE -DHANZI -c HZutil.c
if [ -f cxterm ]; then rm -f cxterm~; mv -f cxterm cxterm~; fi
cc -o cxterm -O -Aa main.o input.o charproc.o cursor.o util.o tabs.o screen.o scrollbar.o button.o Tekproc.o misc.o VTPrsTbl.o TekPrsTbl.o data.o menu.o HZInput.o HZinMthd.o HZinArea.o HZchList.o HZinCntx.o HZfilter.o HZbuiltn.o HZtrie.o HZtrieWc.o HZassoc.o HZpopup.o HZutil.o -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lSM -lICE -lXext -lX11 -lcurses

I get the error shown below:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Can't find library: "Xaw"

I found /usr/contrib/X11R6/include/X11/Xaw/XawInit.h existed. How can I solve the problem out?

Thanks in advance

ld is the link editor, see man ld.
the issue is ld can not find the libXaw file. You'll have to specify it's location using the -L option.

curt,

I have still no idea to create link, pls give me advise.

Thanks

you'll need to find where libXaw is. probably under /usr somewhere.

find /usr -name "libXaw*"

in your cc command you'll need to add a -L switch to tell ld where libXaw is, it has to be before the -lXaw switch

-L /usr/... -lXaw

you can read more about it by doing a man on cc or ld

[Mike Stroyan]

The library is in /usr/contrib/X11R6/lib/libXaw.a .
You could use "export LDOPTS=-L/usr/contrib/X11R6/lib" before running make.

[Fred Ruffet]

IMHO you should rather add /usr/contrib/X11R6/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH :
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/contrib/X11R6/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
