Description
Getting a build error “/bin/ld: cannot find -lpng” using Eclipse CDT on Linux Mint20.02
I followed the install instructions verbatim and verified the Git repo, SDL is installed
What MCU/Processor/Board and compiler are you using?
PC simulator Linux Mint Eclipse 2021-06(v4.20.0)
What LVGL version are you using?
Repo: https://github.com/lvgl/lv_sim_eclipse_sdl.git
cloned via “git clone --recursive https://github.com/littlevgl/pc_simulator_sdl_eclipse.git”
What do you want to achieve?
successfully build the pc simulator demo on Linux Mint using Eclipse CDT\SDL2
What have you tried so far?
I have tested to make sure SDL is installed, reports "libsdl2-2.0-0 is already the newest version 2.1.10+dfsg1-3
I double checked the git repo for the pre configured eclipse project is https://github.com/lvgl/lv_sim_eclipse_sdl.git and the command I used to recursively clone the repo was “git clone --recursive https://github.com/littlevgl/pc_simulator_sdl_eclipse.git”
I tried a clean install of Linux and repeated the steps and got the same result.
