C/C++ > library building/using aarrggg

#2907 - col - Fri Feb 14, 2003 12:40 pm

Hi , I'm having some problems using a library in my link process.

I have built the library with:
arm-agb-elf-ar rcs myLib.a foo.o bar.o etc.

(I have also tried:
arm-agb-elf-ar rc myLib.a foo.o bar.o etc.
arm-agb-elf-ranlib myLib.a)


When I try to link to it with devkitadv (windows):
-L pathToMyLib or -lmyLib.a
It dosn't work work.
I am including headers for the individual .o files that make up the library.
The headers are being accessed in the compile process, it's just linking that's messed up.
(I have a feeling that it might be a cygwin issue as when i use -lmyLib.a, gcc can never find it!)

any suggestions ?

cheers
