confd build error: "cannot find -lconfd"
Q: I've set up the linked directory required for building a ref_platform that uses confd, and upgraded to a newer version of confd, but the build is failing :
*** Linking elemConfdProxy
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lconfd
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [/home/jmir/SystemManager/from_ipw/element_3.2.2/ref_platforms/generic_confd_3.5.0/bin/linux-x86_64/elemConfdProxy]
Error 1
- the directory element_3.2.2/confd/confd-36/x86_64 exists
- it contains the softlink to my $CONFD_ROOT
- $CONFD_VERSION in my environment is set to the new version i.e. "36"
- metadata/staging_confd.xml is updated with the new version
A: There is one more step, which isn't noted in the README.confd file. You must change the CONFD_VERSION reference in your local Makefile in ref_platforms/generic_confd_3.5.0 :
ELEMENT_OPTIONS ?= CONFD_VERSION=36
