Dumb C problem (-ldes, libdes)

[davidbrit2]

So I've got some really simple source code that does some basic DES related stuff, and it (obviously) uses libdes. However, attempting to compile with -ldes gives "ld: can't locate file for: -ldes". If I just specify "/usr/lib/libdes425.dylib" as another argument, it builds and runs okay. Of course, this doesn't work too well with Xcode, as I can't build and debug with compiler trickery like that. How can I get this thing to build properly with -ldes? I also just need to include <des.h>, correct?

Well, could you say -ldes425?

Alternately, you could softlink libdes.dylib to libdes425.dylib, but that doesn't help if your program has to run on other computers where you don't get to go making links willy nilly.

See? I told you it was a dumb problem. ;-) That worked fine. Thanks.
