[Discuss OpenCPI] Re: Application Makefiles

This may be a consequence of (building and) running the app outside the
context of OpenCPI projects and ocpidev.
When applications are run, the binary worker implementations, in
"OpenCPI artifact" files, are found using OCPI_LIBRARY_PATH.
When ocpidev runs an application, it automatically includes any
projects' artifact directories in OCPI_LIBRARY_PATH, including any other
project dependencies.
In the "outside of OpenCPI projects and ocpidev" mode, you need to
manually set OCPI_LIBRARY_PATH to do that.
I.e., something like:
OCPI_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/me/opencpi-projects/HHprojects/artifacts:$(OCPI_ROOT_DIR)/projects/core/artifacts

I assume there is some good reason why you are avoiding ocpidev to build
and run the application.

Cheers,
Jim
