I have a question about using g++ as a linker, and the order in which you specify search paths. As I understand it, g++ -lx -ly will search libx.a before liby.so. When I'm compiling a particular application, I usually put something like: g++ obj.o -lmylib to compile obj.o and link in libmylib.a, which works just dandy. However, when I specify: g++ -lmylib obj.o then I get link errors about not being able to find symbols defined in libmylib.a! Why is this? Is this a bug, or the intended behaviour? Is there any way to change this behaviour on the command-line (it would make life easer for me with an existing tool I want to use that wants to insert my -l*'s before my *.o's) Thanks for any info anyone can provide, John G
