trying to include a static lib in my project

[maxv]

Hi all,

I'm new to this IDE and I've got a little problem
including a static library in my project.
Exactly: I'm trying to include a static sqlite lib.

I putted the lib in the Linker Options and included the
header File.

I may compile the whole Project without an error,
but when the Linker trys to link the files:

Code

C:\Programme\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lsqlite.lib
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
1 errors, 0 warnings

The file sqlite.lib is in the Project Directory.
So, what can I do about this?
Thanks in advance,

Max

PS: sry for my bad english :S

The file sqlite.lib is in the Project Directory.
So, what can I do about this?

Add the project path to the linker directories within the build options.

[maxv]

So, I added the Directory under Build Options -> Search Directories -> Linker,
hope that was what you meant.

There's a different error now:

Code

mingw32-g++.exe: no input files
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings

There's a different error now:

Enable full logging (see my sig) and then report back the whole build log.

[maxv]

Code

mingw32-g++.exe -L"C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Max\Desktop\DatenbankAnbindung\"  -o bin\Debug\DatenbankAnbindung.exe obj\Debug\main.o obj\Debug\Datenbank.o    -lsqlite.lib -lsqlite.lib 
mingw32-g++.exe: no input files

[MortenMacFly]

Code

mingw32-g++.exe -L"C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Max\Desktop\DatenbankAnbindung\"  -o bin\Debug\DatenbankAnbindung.exe obj\Debug\main.o obj\Debug\Datenbank.o    -lsqlite.lib -lsqlite.lib 
mingw32-g++.exe: no input files

Do a re-build and report back the whole log, please. BTW: So far I see already that you are linking against sqlite twice. That's for sure a (first) error.

[maxv]

Code

Compiling: main.cpp
Compiling: Datenbank.cpp
Linking console executable: bin\Debug\DatenbankAnbindung.exe
mingw32-g++.exe: no input files
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 5 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings

Code

Compiling: main.cpp
Compiling: Datenbank.cpp
Linking console executable: bin\Debug\DatenbankAnbindung.exe
mingw32-g++.exe: no input files
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 5 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings

Oh come one... you did not use the full compiler log again. Enable full compiler log, then rebuild and post the whole log. That shouldn't be too difficult.

[maxv]

Sorry, my last post was ....

I'm currently not at home so, I'm working with my
notebook and other compiler settings :S

Here are the new and right ones:

Code

mingw32-g++.exe -Wall -fexceptions  -g     -c "C:\max\programme\der Rest\DatenbankAnbindung\main.cpp" -o obj\Debug\main.o
mingw32-g++.exe -Wall -fexceptions  -g     -c "C:\max\programme\der Rest\DatenbankAnbindung\Datenbank.cpp" -o obj\Debug\Datenbank.o
mingw32-g++.exe -L..\DatenbankAnbindung  -o bin\Debug\DatenbankAnbindung.exe obj\Debug\main.o obj\Debug\Datenbank.o    -lsqlite.lib -lsqlite.lib 
C:\Programme\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lsqlite.lib
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 11 seconds)
1 errors, 0 warnings

Hi !

   -lsqlite.lib -lsqlite.lib

I think once is enough 

C:\Programme\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lsqlite.lib

Add the directory where sqlite.lib is located in the linker search directories of your project build options.

Hi !

   -lsqlite.lib -lsqlite.lib

I think once is enough 

umm... I've added the lib only once in the Build Options

C:\Programme\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lsqlite.lib

Add the directory where sqlite.lib is located in the linker search directories of your project build options.

Already done but thanks for trying to help anyway

I never worked with sqlite; is sqlite.lib in ..\DatenbankAnbindung ?
I would have imagine some <...>\sqlite\lib directory...
Are you sure of your relative path ? Did you try with an absolute one (not a good practice but just to be sure it is OK) ?

No, it's only one library you have to build yourself...
or download the *.dll
I builded the static library myself and it works fine with Borland C++ Builder 2007.

I putted the lib in the linker options and putted the project path under Search Directories -> Linker.
So, yes I'm sure about the relative path.

I builded the static library myself and it works fine with Borland C++ Builder 2007.

I'm not sure it's a good idea to use a lib built with borland and link with mingw...

[maxv]

I also did a rebuild, same error but,
I'll do a right now... mom (5mins  )

Ok, needed a bit longer,
made the whole project new.

So, I rebuilded the lib as a static lib which
resulted in a *.a and a *.dll file,
when I builded a static lib with Borland I only got
a *.lib file.

Anyways, I added the *.a file under Building Options -> Linker Settings
and added the relative Project Directorie under Search Directories -> Linker.

Finally I got another error:

Code

mingw32-g++.exe -L..\DatenbankAnbindung  -o bin\Debug\DatenbankAnbindung.exe obj\Debug\main.o    ..\libsqlitestat.a 
obj\Debug\main.o: In function `main':
C:/max/programme/der Rest/DatenbankAnbindung/DatenbankAnbindung/main.cpp:9: undefined reference to `Datenbank::open(std::string)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 13 seconds)
1 errors, 0 warnings

In my opinion the last project file was corrupted and
the linker tried to link the sqlite.lib file two times which lead to the error.

For this new project I don't even have a idea about the problem.

Maybe this is an easy problem and I just don't know enough about
libraries etc ... :/
