Re: ld library problems

Anyone shine some light on this ? Do I have to use '.la' ? Or what ?

We can't shed light on this without details. Please provide some specific examples.

From what I am seeing (this is not a tested example)

Given 'libTest2.a' in '/usr/build/Debug/lib'


g++ -share -L/usr/build/Debug/lib test.o -o test.dll

This fails to find test2.a on Cygwin where it is found on Linux.

Where as the following works :-

g++ -share -L/usr/build/Debug/lib test.o -o test.dll -ltest2.a
