I am getting a linker error of library not found on mac os (M1) despite specifying the -L flag.
I tried all combination of library name: with/without .so suffix, using -lname and using -l:name
Here is the command:
$ clang++ -std=c++11 -fPIC \
-I/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniforge/base/envs/tfconda/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/include \
-L/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniforge/base/envs/tfconda/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/python/ \
-l:_pywrap_tensorflow_internal.so \
-shared -O2 \
-o plugin.so ppu_pluggable_device.cc
1 warning generated.
ld: library not found for -l:_pywrap_tensorflow_internal.so
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
A simple ls to prove the library is there:
$ ls /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/miniforge/base/envs/tfconda/lib/python3.10/site-packages/tensorflow/python

I should mention that I am new to development on mac os, I am used to developping on linux.
Edit: I tried doing the exact same thing on a linux virtual machine (on a windows desktop) and it worked without issues, so this really seems to come from the mac configuration/environment. I don't know why it is not finding the library with the given arguments.
