Re: Dumb Question on GCC


$ gcc SLPReg.c -L./ -llibcommonlibslp.a -llibcommonslpd.a
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
cannot fi
nd -llibcommonlibslp.a
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I put c files, o.files, lib and all files local in same directory  and the
linker still cant find anything Is there any doc on how this works?

Thanks,
Martin
