Re: Compiling Berkeley DB Programs

Hi There,
    Off the top of my head I cannot remember how to do it as
it was a while ago, but I ran into problems with make when I
tried to compile using lex and yacc from a Sun box with flex
and bison with linux. In my researches, I discovered how to
add other libraries in the make man page. From memory it is
something as simple as -l and the library, but I don't
remember exactly. RTFM and all will be revealed.
    Cheers!
        Andrew.
