Linking to external Libraries

[Israel Fdez Cabrera]

Hi
May be you are familiar with the way linux use the shared libraries. you
may have one or both of the following, a shared object .so or an object
library, .la. 
Linux names libraries using the "lib" word + "library name" + ".so",
(asume the library is in a standard location, /lib/, /usr/lib, etc...)
Supouse U want to with pthread library, the library name is
libpthread.so, ok, then Project Menu->Project Options (F7) -> Compiler
Options -> Linker Flags, Add this:

-lpthread

"-l" + "library name"

with no lib or .so.xxx

hope It help... best reg at rds
