binding.gyp doesn't see included library












0















I'm playing around with node-gyp and I am trying to add a library, muParser to some of the example code by adding a folder libraries at the same level as hello.cc and simply adding #include <muParser.h> to hello.cc.



libraries has the following structure:



-include - with files such as muParser.h



-lib - with a single file libmuparser.a



The problem is that my binding.gyp file doesn't do what I think it should as for the following 2 variants, relative and absolute paths, I get the same error - ../hello.cc:3:10: fatal error: 'muParser.h' file not found when I npm install:



{
"targets": [
{
"target_name": "hello",
"sources": [ "hello.cc" ],
"include_dirs": [
"../libraries/include/"
],
"libraries": [
"-llibmuparser', '-L../libraries/lib/"
],
}
]
}

{
"targets": [
{
"target_name": "hello",
"sources": [ "hello.cc" ],
"include_dirs": [
"<(module_root_dir)/../libraries/include/"
],
"libraries": [
"<(module_root_dir)/../libraries/lib/libmuparser.a"
],
}
]
}


Can anybody explain how I include this library?
