Using an SDK - Dependency on multiple object files
Vikingo:
Got it! I was missing the essential 1st step to pick the right project type...
Selected "Static Lib" and... builds flawlessly!!!
BTW: I never wanted to fight CB, I just didn't find the answer looking around.
As a newbie I find code::blocks really powerful and well thought. However I think some basic task orienting "recipes" would be really helpful for newcomers.
I mean, tasks like prioritizing a file on the link sequence, or building a lib have the right solution but I haven't got them as easy as I expected.
A "What do you want to do today..." section with typical projects would be great (and maybe would save time for many of you :)
Thanks for the patience and support

But how would you figure out a right linker sequence for literally any sdk out there? It's impossible. So it's really a task of the developer to read the docs of the sdk (s)he is using and doing it right in the first place. I'm afraid there is nothing we can do about...
Vikingo:
I totally agree on a product oriented sense (i.e: the developer's product is the developer's resposibility) however I meant a task oriented help (which is deeply related to the tool chain you are using)
In this last context it's not about "what" but about "how" do I do this or that
For example:
1) I know I have to link in this particular order, sure CB can do it. How do I do it?
2) I need to build a library, again sure CB can do it but how?
Keep in mind that for you guys experienced on CB this might be trivial, for the newcomers it's quite different. At release 13.12 you already know (newbies included) that for sure CB has the ability to do what you need, but the newbie is lost at all the daunting possible places where the solution might be. So the CB "cookbook" would be great in easying the learning curve for the newcomer. Just my 2cts.

Did you read the User Docs?

No, the answers are not there (they are now in the forum :-), and
Yes, I have read some articles that helped me start (which coincidentaly are kind of recipes close to what I needed (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Using_the_Code::Blocks_IDE_with_SDCC_on_PIC_MCUs) and many are quite helpful.
On the other hand many are for general knowledge and insight which is good in the long run but too long to read for quick starts. Unless you have plenty of time or you are building a tool instead of a product, you generally are focused on the final result and not on all the subtleties of your tool chain (you'll have time for that later). So a quick list of steps to do the chore is of invaluable help, you backup plan for a fast insight of course is to ask the tool community for help and I greatly appreciate the answers.
I find that page a good work in progress, augmenting the articles with more straight to the task chores would be great.
