Hi folks,
I'm an experienced user under and ARC context, but I'm setting up with
mingw.
using:
Eclipse Version: 3.3.1.1
CDT 4.0.2
GNU C++ version 3.4.5 (mingw special) (mingw32)
I built the stock Hello World with no problems and added a second
"utilities" static library project for practice. I did the following:
* checked "utilities" as a project reference for Hello World.
* added libutilities as as a lbrary to "Hello World" project library list.
* added "${workspace_loc:/utilities/Debug}" as the dir path for libs.
(libutilities.a lives there). (also tried the "file system" version of
this.
* Clean and build results in the following error:
g++ -LC:\projects\fargo\utilities\Debug -ohello_world.exe
src\hello_world.o src\c_template_class.o -llibutilities
C:\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bi n\ld.exe:
cannot find -llibutilities
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
* Seems pretty basic - hoping it's just some idiot setup thing I'm doing.
Any ideas much appreciated.
Regards,
Steve

Don't you want "-lutilities" rather than "-libutilities"?

Hello Don,
Thanks for your reply.
I gave this some scrutiny previously, but I think it's OK for the
following reason...
For the utilities project, the properties | C/C++ Build settings | Build
Artifact tab has an output prefix that defaults to "lib". And I have
verified that the utilities library is indeed built with filename
"libutilities.a". So unfortunatley I think that part is OK.
Thanks much,
Steve

Moving this over to the CDT newsgroup where it will get more attention.

"-llibutilities" will cause the linker to look for a file called
"liblibutilities.a" down the library search path (you can see where it is
searching with "-Xlinker --verbose" on the linker command line).
As Don said, if you want to include "libutilities.a" you use "-lutilities".

Hello Don and Derek,
Apologies - it finally struck me what your suggestion really meant!
I changed from "libutilities" to "utilities" in the "Hello World" project
library list and all is well.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Steve
