editline/history.h and editline/readline.h not found/working on OSX when trying to compile with developer tools installed already
Include only
#include <editline/readline.h>
which should exist if the command line tools are installed. This file contains the
"readline wrapper" for libedit, including the history functions as well.
An include file <editline/history.h>
does not exist on OS X.
I tested your code with that modification, and it compiled and ran without problems.
Using OSX Yosemite. I removed #include<editline/history.h>
and then used cc -std=c99 -Wall test.c -ledit -o test
Works fine now
I'm on El Capitan,
Remove #include <editline/history.h>
,
and use cc -std=c99 -Wall test.c -ledit -o test
works for me.
Add the flag -ledit
before the output flad, it's a linking process, allows the compiler to directly embed calls to editline in your program. Or, you'll get the below error message,
