Question

I use code::blocks to compile my static library. The output result is a libstatic.a file. Now, how do I link to my library to use functions that were compiled?

(I tried to use #include "libstatic.a" but my project doesn t compile)

Answer 1

cc -o yourprog yourprog.c -lstatic

or

cc -o yourprog yourprog.c libstatic.a

Answer 2

You should #include "libstatic.h", i.e. use the appropriate header file in your code (that s why your code doesn t compile) and include the path to your libstatic.a in the linker options as one of your input libraries.

This webpage has some examples on linking to a static library, e.g.

gcc -I. -o jvct jvct.c libjvc.a

Answer 3

I had to set the library path in my makefile. For this case you could use:

gcc -o myapp main.c -L. -lstatic

Answer 4

gcc -I. -o jvct jvct.c libjvc.a

Answer 5

To link purely statically, use -static

cc -static yourprogram.c libstatic.a
