wolfSSL and StellarisWare examples - ssl

Question

I want to use the freertos_demo that is part of StellarisWare /TivaWare in combination with wolfSSL library but I find it difficult to read the Makefile (actually the makedefs files).
I downloaded and compiled wolfSSL according to the manual. Now in /usr/local/lib there are the following files:
/usr/local/lib//libwolfssl.la
/usr/local/lib//libwolfssl.so
/usr/local/lib//libwolfssl.so.3
/usr/local/lib//libwolfssl.so.3.1.0
Now I open makedefs from the StellarisWare root directory and added the folling code to line 160:
LIBS=-lwolfssl
Further, I modified lines 246 and 252 which now state the following (both lines are identical; basically I only added '${LIBS}' ):
'${LIBM}' '${LIBC}' '${LIBGCC}' '${LIBS}';
However, when I go to the blinky sub-directory and perform a "make clean; make", I get the following error:
arm-none-eabi-ld: cannot find -lwolfssl
What am I missing?

Answer 1

per the suggestion from #nettrino it looks like /usr/local/lib is not in your system LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. You could confirm this from a terminal by using this command
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Do you see /usr/local/lib? If not you can do one of two things.
Option 1: Follow #nettrino's intended suggestion and in the Makefile change the line:
LIBS=-lwolfssl
to
LIBS=-L/usr/local/lib -lwolfssl
Option 2: Edit your .bash_profile (or .bashrc) and add the line:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib"
Then reload the terminal to get the updated changes or use the command
source .bash_profile
(or source .bashrc depending on which one you edited)
Then try the same echo command again and do you now see /usr/local/lib
in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH?
