I should have tried that, but it's even better to have this explanation of why it works. It's odd that the manual was so deliberately misleading on this! While I was trying to solve this myself, I read: "You can mix options and other arguments. For the most part, the order you use doesn't matter. Order does matter when you use several options of the same kind; for example, if you specify -L more than once, the directories are searched in the order specified." -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Simple-linking-problem-tf3720892.html#a10418803 Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
