Netbeans：将静态库链接到项目

Question

How can I properly link the static library into the Netbeans project?

I am trying to build my app on the FreeBSD - I got the .a and the .h files of my library (the library is the devil graphic library btw.)

I have added the include directory for the library in the:

File => Project Properties => Build => C++ Compiler => General => Include Directories

then, under the File => Project Properties => Build => Linkers => Libraries added my library as a file: ../../../source/devil/libIL.a

However, when I am compiling it I get the following error:

No rule to make target ../../../source/devil/libIL.a

(I have also tried to add the -static flag at the begging of the library path in the linkers libraries.

Answer 1

On Ubuntu, params indirectly sent to the loader must be preceded with -Wl, , as stated in the manual of ld ( man ld ):

Note---if the linker is being invoked indirectly, via a compiler driver (eg gcc) then all the linker command line options should be prefixed by -Wl, (or whatever is appropriate for the particular compiler driver) like this: gcc -Wl,--start-group foo.o bar.o -Wl,--end-group

On Netbeans use the "Add Option..." button in the libraries menu (Project Properties > Linker > Libraries) to do so:

In the previous image, I've used -Wl,-static to link all of the previous libraries statically.

Cheers,
