I'm going to use webdis but get and error on linking stage. Webdis is a web face for redis database. You can find it here: http://webd.is .
My system configuration is:
* Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot (11.10 Alpha)
* Gcc 4.6
* Linux kernel 3.0.0-7
When I do make I get the next output:

I have libevent.so and libevent-dev headers installed in my /usr/lib directory and I also tried -levent2 instead of -levent in LDFLAGS variable of Makefile but still didn't got any progress. What can be the solution for my issue?
Thank you.

Answer 1

You need to put the -levent command line option after the names of the object files in the linker command line. From the GCC documentation on the -l flag:
-llibrary
-l library
Search the library named library when linking. (The second
alternative with the library as a separate argument is only for
POSIX compliance and is not recommended.)
It makes a difference where in the command you write this option;
the linker searches and processes libraries and object files in the
order they are specified. Thus, foo.o -lz bar.o searches library z
after file foo.o but before bar.o. If bar.o refers to functions in
z, those functions may not be loaded.
