Tony, Make sure that the library comes last on the command line. For example, you should be linking something like this: gcc -o prog prog.c -L/lib/dir -lwebs I posted another message a little while back explaining why you need to do this. If you're motivated, you could search through archives to find it... Good luck, Lyle -----Original Message----- From: gcc-help-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gcc-help-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Anthony Tonizzo Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2004 1:57 PM To: gcc-help@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Beginner's question on libraries Hi, I am just begining to use GCC and I stumbled on a problem I do not seem to get myself out of, yet I think the solution is very simple. I have a library which I compiled, whose entry point is defined as such: static void webs_thread( cyg_addrword_t p ) I can compile the library (libwebs.a), but when I try to link the library in my code and use the function webs_thread I come up with a 'undefined reference to `webs_thread' I have the -L switch set to the correct path, and the -lwebs is there too. The problem does not seem to be that the libwebs.a library is not found, but rather that the link cannot be made. I am not sure this is all the information that is necessary to diagnose the problem and educate me on the issue, but I would surely appreciate any help I can get. Thanks Tony ____________________________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default .asp?SRC=lycos10
