hi, i hope this is the right mailinglist for this, my apologies this is not the case :) however, i need to link (through invokation of g++, if possible) a library that does not have the "libxxx.a" scheme, so i would like to make g++ not prefix the library name with "lib" and suffix it with ".a". if i understood the gcc manual correctly, i could specify the libarary without the "-l" option, but then the library paths (plus those specified with "-L") would not be searched. unfortunately, i need these paths to be searched, because i do not know the exact paths of the libraries since i am trying to write a makefile for compilation. by the way, i'm trying hard to avoid external tools such as the autotools, so i hope there is a way to solve my little problem in another way :) thank you in advance
