clang++: Include libraries located at a different path than the source file.

clang++

$ clang++ ${path-to-source-cpp} -o ${path-to-output_executable} -I${path-to-header_path} -L${path-to-library_path} -l${path-to-library_name}

try on your machine

The given command is for compiling C++ code using the Clang++ compiler.

Here is the breakdown of each part of the command:

clang++: This is the clang++ compiler command.
${path-to-source-cpp}: This should be replaced with the actual path to your C++ source code file. It specifies the location of the C++ source code file you want to compile.
-o: This flag indicates the output option, followed by ${path-to-output_executable} which should be replaced with the desired path and name for the output executable file. It specifies where the compiled executable will be saved.
-I: This flag is used to include header files. ${path-to-header_path} should be replaced with the path to the directory which contains the necessary header files for your code.
-L: This flag specifies the path to the directory containing the library file you want to link. Replace ${path-to-library_path} with the correct path.
-l: This flag is used to specify the library name to link against. ${path-to-library_name} should be replaced with the name of the library file you want to link.

In summary, the command compiles the specified C++ source code file using the Clang++ compiler and produces an executable file at the specified output path. It also includes the necessary header files, and links against a specific library by specifying its path and name.
