Finding modules with FGLLDPATH

For compilation, you may need to set the FGLLDPATH environment variable to find the modules in the GWA API package.

When you install GWA, you have the option to install it on top of FGLDIR or in a directory of its own.

If GWA is installed on top of FGLDIR, there is no need to modify FGLLDPATH. The gwa package will be found automatically by the compiler, as the package will sit in $FGLDIR/lib/gwa.

If GWA is installed in its own directory, you must add $GWADIR/lib to FGLLDPATH:
  • On UNIX™:
    export FGLLDPATH=$FGLLDPATH:gwa-install-dir/lib
  • On Windows®:
    set FGLLDPATH=%FGLLDPATH%;gwa-install-dir\lib
Tip:

By default, FGLLDPATH is set to correctly locate gwa modules at runtime; you should not need to update FGLLDPATH unless you have custom modules that need locating.
