My question is mainly related to the process of linking object files automatically using a 'Makefile'. I know that makefiles can be used to compile a source tree with options at each source level. The problem is that * I dont know how to create / change them manually. The ./configure has been working for me till now. * I have the object files (the .o files). I have made changes to a small project and tried to use the functions in those .o files (according to the API Docs). * I do not have the course of the object files. Under these circumstances, Is it possible to change the makefile so that GCC will link to the functions in those object files automatically when compiling? - Vaibhav
