Why C::B strips the lib from the library in the linker options?

(1/1)

oBFusCATed:
Hi,

I've a test project which has a main app and one dynamic library.
The library is named lib1, so the resulting file is liblib1.so.
This library can't be linked, because C::B does some magic and removes the lib.
I know why it does it, but isn't this against the C::B's policy -> "never do something (magically) behind the back of the user"?

Can we remove this feature?

No, as this is simply a mis-use of the prefix option in the project settings. ;-)

oBFusCATed:
What prefix option?

p.s. if you misuse something, it should bite you  :lol:
p.p.s. I've seen other people to suffer from this (I think)

In the project options, on the same tab where you specify the output folder, file name... there are two checkboxes whether you want to automatically add the prefix.

However, I am not even sure if that made it already into the debugger's branch. Probably another merge is needed... I'll take care, but have to access to the repo at the moment. :(

I don't see how this is related.
BTW, I was bitten again by this "feature" today on my real work project...

There are some changes merged in... (I've two new text boxes with some $target_blabla in them)
BTW: Can you start a topic in the announcement subforum to describe the changes from the users point of view? (I'm not sure what is changed and what to expect).
