inherit static library dependencies

Hello,
I haven't found a solution to my problem. Also I don't know if this wanted or unwanted behaviour.

Let's assume I have a program "userProg" that is linked to a static library "userLib". My "userLib" depends on another external static library provided by an sdk for target hardware. Now if I add my library to "userProg" that it can use it and trying to compile, I get an error that I have "undefined references" to functions of the external sdk library. This can be solved only if I add the dependcy to external library to both projects "userProg" and "userLib". Is this regular behaviour or do I have to make some special Projectsettings?


Best regards

Daniel

You should better ask this question to the developer/provider of the SDK. It might be or not. Consult the developers guide what the SDK developer/provider suggests to do - then set it up in Code::Blocks accordingly.

Hello,
thanks for your reply but I think you missunderstood. For sure in my "userLib" i have to add the sdk lib as a dependency for linker that all references can be defined. But I don't know why I have to add them to my "userProg" linker settings too. I thought with compiling of "userLib" the references are resolved and this library is fully compiled and linked. So I thougt if I add my userlib to my userProg as a linker dependency it just links to the staticlibrary and everything is fine.

Static libraries do not link with other static libraries, so there is no dependency or name resolution between the actual libraries - a library will of course be dependent on any headers from other sources it uses.

das-d:
yes but does this mean my userProg depends on both my own "userLib" and the sdk library?
