using lammps as a shared library with c++

for a research project i have to simulate particle breaking into given number of sub particles with co ordinates within the Big sphere which breaks and the voids present between it and neighbouring atoms.

I went through the lammps site and i used the make mode=shlib ubuntu command .This produces lot of warnings in between.But still it compiles and produces a ‘share library soft link liblammps.so’.

However i dont know how to proceed in linking this library as when i put

$make install

or $sudo make install

after make mode command it doesnt work.And when i use the ./configure command

in my ubuntu 14.04 it says command doesnt exist.

Also i used the $export ADD_LIBRARY_PATH command but nothing works.

So how do i link the library to my c++ code.

Also can any function directly pack spheres even in voids along with main major space and give info on neighbouring atoms.

pS REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

thank you

To link to the library make sure you put it somewhere that is in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and then link your application to it using the “-llammps” flag during linking.
