[ubuntu] Library installations

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – So ive got some development library's in C (as in non standard) and ive no idea how to put them into the system permanently. I can compile source if i put the header file in the same sub directory but ideally id like them to be persistently accessible anywhere. I have lots of these library's :( Im aware that library's go in the /usr/lib/ folder i think BUT do they need linking to the compiler such as a pkg-config file or environmental variable? Also would i need to give myself write access to the folder to install the library's? some have makefiles and others are just header files. (Hardware)

Modifying SubModules 15 weeks 2 days ago

I have a project I am working on. I use a library that is on GitHub. Normally I have been using this library via Maven. However there are some bugs in the library so I would like to include this library in my repo so I can modify it. I then build the library myself.

What is the best strategy for this?
