Hi,
I am trying to build a project on Linux via Makefile.
I keep getting cannot find error.
I asked around, and I was told that my project doesn't have access to library folders.
Therefore, I am trying to solve this problem by using the time library locally inside my project's folder.
I am very new to Linux. So, please forgive my question if it sounds naive.
I found this, but I don't know what files I need, and how to build the library.

* Where can I find the time.h library/package?
* How do I build the library?

Solution 1

First thing you need to do is learn about compilers and libraries; time.h is the name of a header file within the library, and on its own does nothing. You need to download and install the entire library from the root of the tree and build it on your system. Take a look at the file named INSTALL in the root directory, and/or take a look at the documentation on GLIB and GCC.

I see. Is there a time package somewhere I can download and unpack instead of downloading each file separately?

A time package for what? You cannot use any packages unless you have the full compiler and library to start with.

Take a look at the GLIBC downloads page(s).
