According to the loader documentation, -lxxx (small L) looks for libxxx.so then libxxx.a
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/ld-2.9.1/html_node/ld_3.html
Note that the format for a library name is libxxx.so or libxxx.a
To make this work with versioned names, a symlink is used
$ ls -l /usr/lib64 | grep FLAC
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 16 Feb 3 2016 libFLAC.so -> libFLAC.so.8.3.0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 18 Feb 3 2016 libFLAC++.so -> libFLAC++.so.6.3.0
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 104K Feb 3 2016 libFLAC++.so.6.3.0
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 362K Feb 3 2016 libFLAC.so.8.3.0
If your library doesn't follow this naming convention
then you can include it where an object file would appear using no flags.
You'll likely also need to use the full path (relative can be used but it's tricky).
In Eclipse this would be in
Project --> Properties --> C/C++ Build --> Settings --> Tool Settings tab --> GCC C++ Linker --> Miscellaneous --> Other objects

Not sure what you expect Eclipse to be doing for you.
The extent of Eclipse's involvement is to take the information you provide and pass it to the loader.
Then execute the loader using make and display the resulting output.
Beyond getting the linker command line correct, I doubt your issue is with Eclipse.
"Didn't work" is a bit vague.
Perhaps you can post the build log that shows the problem.
You might have given Eclipse/CDT incorrect parameters for the linker.
If so, we might be able to help you.
But do be aware, your issue is most likely with the GNU loader.
Discussing the fine points of using external tools is beyond the scope of this forum.
Getting Eclipse to set up the command line is within scope though.
Understanding how to use the external tools outside of Eclipse will go a long way toward knowing what Eclipse expects.
