Hi,

I am trying to build a piece of code on 64 bit linux machine gcc ( ++ compiler ) on eclipse IDE

In the linking stage,it throws an error

Invoking: GCC C++ Linker
g++ -L/home/Docs/test1/ -o"test" ./main.o ./wrapper.o -lmylib64
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmylib64
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I have included the library in the workfolder and tried giving full path name,absolute path etc..no success..
( The name of the library is mylib64.a)


I am using eclipse version 3.5 .

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

The linker expects the library name to be libmy.a. Your command line would then be "-lmy". You should rename your library (to use the name scheming everybofy on this planet uses) or change the command to 
-l /home/Docs/test1/mylib64.a


see http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.6.2/gcc/Link-Options.html#Link-Options
