Undefined reference to Function [message #1073862]

Hi, I just try to use Eclipse CDT Juno mspgcc and it works. But if i try to use some 3rd party Libraries I got the Error undefined reference to `lcd_init'. lcd_init is declared in dsiplay.h and defined in display.c.
The Headerfile is Included to my project (Project > Property > C/C++General > Path and Symbols > Add... > File System.. Path to the 3rd party Libraries)

So if I use #include "display.h" there is no error, when I debugg the code. If I call lcd_init() in the main() or any other functions out of the dsiplay.h-File I get the undefined reference Error to the functions.
When I also include the display.c file (#include "display.c") i got other Errors. Depending to display.c because the compiler miss some other Functions which are defined / declared in other C-Files.

So my question is how can I told Eclipse to include the C-Files from the 3rd party Folders.

Thanks
Chris

When you use libraries, there are generally two things you have to deal with. One is the include file defining the API to the library. The other is the actual library itself that has to be made available to the linker portion of the build. You seem to have accomplished locating and using the include file. You need to add the library to the list of libraries to pass to the linker.

You have to tell the linker about the library.

Thanks for the answer and links, however I tried this and it still does not work. I am trying to link in to Eclipse the OpenCV libraries for a sample project I am building, however I keep getting several erros like:

undefined reference to `cv::_InputArray::_InputArray(cv::Mat const&)

Using Eclipse Luna
1. I went into Project Properties -->C/C++ Build/Settings
2. Under Cygwin C++ Linker / Libraries --> Library Search Path (-L), I added the directory to where my .dll files are for opencv
3. Under Cygwin C++ Linker / Libraries --> Libraries (-l), I add all of the opencv dll files (leaving off the .dll file extension).
4. Did a Project --> Clean
5. Project --> Build All and I get the errors referenced above (quite a few of them)

Any other suggestions to figure out why this is happening?
Thank you.
