[gst-devel] Compiling Plugin with additional Libraries

[Stefan Kost]

hi,

if ldd does not show the lib, its not linked against it. You should
locate the lib using pkg-config or the like and add the lib to the
variables in Makefile.am (LDADD, LDFLAGS, ..).
If ldd shows the lib, but can't resolv it, check that /opt/lib is in you
ld.so.conf.
