Linking error

<< < (2/3) > >>

Decrius:
Nope, its called libimageloader.a and is located in sltest/lib/

The only thing I did was:
- Make a static library project and build the example file that comes with it. Move the .a file to Packs/SLtest/lib/, and add that to the global search directories.
- Make a header file with the prototypes of the functions.
- Make a console library, link to to 'imageloader', include the header file, try to compile and it says 'undefined reference'.

I've re-done this several times, keep getting the same error, what if you guys do these steps, do you get the same error too?

Thank you for your time and effort :)

I have done it similar and it just works. I have attached a sample workspace for your convenience. Probably this will help you to get where you want. I does not have a header file... this content is directly inside the main application (I was too lazy to do the header file...)

Yes, your project works for me, thank you.

But how could it possibly work? When I build the App, it includes the .a file, but it's never created...I don't see it appear neither do I compile the library...how could that ever work? How could it know the functions if the library isn't compiled, and how can it find these lib files?

Thank you.

Trust me: the library *is* compiled. :D
I used a project dependency here - so the app project depends on the lib project which get's compiled automatically once you compile the app. Have a look int he "MyLib folder - there is the *.a lib created... for sure. If you create a workspace you can setup such dependencies between projects... there are also other ways to achieve such behaviour.

Decrius:
Are you sure? I don't see any .a file appear in the directories...=/

As for depencies, none of them is set AFAIK. App Project -> Project -> Properties -> Project's Dependencies -> box of Lib is not ticked...
