undefined reference to `htmlcxx::HTML::ParserDom::parseTree(std::string const&)'

Question

I am using htmlcxx library for a simple program but I got stuck in a problem, I searched many other related solutions but my problem is still a problem, Hope any one can help me, Here is the code I used in Kdevelop on Ubuntu:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <htmlcxx/html/ParserDom.h>


using namespace htmlcxx;


int main()
{

  //Parse some html code
  std::string html = "<html><body>hey</body></html>";
  HTML::ParserDom parser;
  tree<HTML::Node> dom= parser.parseTree(html) ;

  //Print whole DOM tree
  std::cout << dom << std::endl;

  //Dump all links in the tree
  tree<HTML::Node>::iterator it = dom.begin();
  tree<HTML::Node>::iterator end = dom.end();
  for (; it != end; ++it)
  {
    if (it->tagName() == "A")
    {
        it->parseAttributes();
        std::cout << it->attribute("href").second;
    }
  }

  //Dump all text of the document
  it = dom.begin();
  end = dom.end();
  for (; it != end; ++it)
  {
    if ((!it->isTag()) && (!it->isComment()))
    {
        std::cout << it->text();
    }
  }

  return 0;
}

And here is the error come when I build it in Kdevelop:

You need to find the library name and add `-l[library name]` to the linker flags, assuming that it's a shared library. It's probably something like `-lhtmlcxx`. — zneak, Sep 18 '14 at 14:38
In the absence of a `Makefile`, I'd try `LDFLAGS=-lhtmlcxx make -j2` on the command line, but if you have one, I'd add it there. — zneak, Sep 18 '14 at 14:53

Wrong path to the library is the reason why it's not linking the code.
