Linker can not find libraries [message #157784]

Hello. I am using cygwin on WinXP. I have 4 c++ projects, 3 of which
create static libraries (libxxxx.a files), and the 4th creates an
executable that I need to link with these other 3 libraries. Under
Properties in the linker section I have specified library include paths,
and included the lib files to include, but the linker can not find my
libraries. I have tried a number of different options, relative paths,
full paths etc, but none work. I get the following in the console:

Building target: RHP_InternalPool.exe
Invoking: GCC C++ Linker
g++ -L../../../POOL/Debug -L../../../UT/Debug -L../../NHL/Debug
-oRHP_InternalPool.exe ./IP_Coach.o ./IP_Defenceman.o ./IP_Enforcer.o
/IP_Goalie.o ./IP_Group.o ./IP_Player.o ./IP_Pool.o ./IP_Scorer.o
/main.o -llibpool.a -llibut.a -llibnhl.a
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin /bin/ld:
cannot find -llibpool.a
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [RHP_InternalPool.exe] Error 1
make: Target `all' not remade because of errors.
Build complete for project RHP_InternalPool

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
