How to set linker option in Monodevelop c++ console application

Question

I'm new to stackoverflow and monodevelop too. I,m using monodevelop version 2.8.6.3 // How can I set linker option in monodevelop. Since I do followings:

Project Option->Code Generation->Libraries

and add library libssl.a

Project Option->Code Generation->Path add library path /usr/local/ssl/lib and include path /usr/local/ssl/include when I compile/build application I got following error

-L"/usr/local/ssl/lib" -L"/usr/local/ssl/fips-2.0/lib" -l"ssl.a" /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lssl.a collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Please help me! Thanks All

Answer 1

If you have libssl.so you specify with ssl

if you have libssl.a , just put libssl.a in link command

Answer 2

you can easyly change compiler-settings in "Monodevelop":

Project->Options->Configurations

in the tab called "code generation" you should be able to add extra Linker-options (like -lm , to instruct the linker to use the c and c++ math-library) In the section labeled "Extra Compiler - Options" you can provide additional options and the programm-name you wish to provide. (like -o my_programm)

have a closer look to the documentation where it says >> "Changing Compiler Options"
