Library changes

[Brian Beuken]

Hello Brian,

Thanks for this warning, it is very important.

Unfortunately I still have not been able to make progress after this part of the book (more than a month, I am a student, this is a hobby, do not judge me).

I attach to this reply two images of the errors I get after setting up the libraries. 

Basically I have tweaked the file names, the paths, the absolute paths, etc., to make it match with what the error seems to point, but so far haven't figured it out. I believe my issue lies on the Library Names. The ones on my RaspPiB3+ (Raspbian 4.14.79-v7+) are under /opt/vc/lib. I also attach a print-screen of the directory structure.

I would appreciate any advice, I am running this on Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2017.

Some print-screens of a working configuration with a similar setup to mine would be HIGHLY appreciated.


Kind Regards,
Sebastian!

Hey Sebastian
no judgement, we all get confused at the start.
In your case thats quite a nice bug but I think it may be due to you naming the libs with the lib prefix and the .a extension, don't add the "lib" or ".a" part, just GLESv2_static not libGLESv2_static.a that is the name of the file, but the name of the library is just GLESv2_static so thats what we use in Linux builds such as Raspbian.

Same for the other libs, you need all of them in the latest versions of Raspbian.

When it asks for the name of the lib you don't need to give any more info than the post above gives.
If that does not work, please zip up your project and send it to me, I'll debug it for you and let you know

If it does work, post here and let me know.
