Hi,

How can I use Mac OS X libraries in gcc in the terminal, such as:

#include <IOKit/IOATACommand.h>

in a c++ program taht I create in a text editor and then do "c++ -o program program.cpp"

when i try it, it complains that it cant find IOKit/IOATACommand.h


any help woudl be much appreaciated!

thanks!

you'll need to add '-framework IOKit' to that

So like this?

c++ -o program -framework IOKit program.cpp

Thanks

i tired this:

c++ -o ata -framework IOKit ata.cpp


and it said:

ata.cpp:3:32: IOKit/IOATACommand.h: No such file or directory

line 32 is this: "#include <IOKit/IOATACommand.h>"


any ideas?

thanks

The generic answer and the specific answer are different. I could walk through everything you need to do to include random libraries, but that is not your problem.

IOKit/IOATACommand.h defines functions that are only exposed *inside* the kernel. It for use by kernel extensions. Hence there is no way to get a successful link against it for a userspace program.
