I have a C file, which uses multiple lib files. I am trying to compile the file in the following way:
gcc -o myprogram main.c list.lib filelib.lib
However, when trying to compile I get a bunch of undefined reference
errors of all the lib
functions that I'm using.
I came accross a solution on the internet and tried the following:
gcc -o myprogram main.c -l list -l filelib
Now I get the following errors:
cannot find -llist
cannot fint -lfilelib
What am I doing wrong?
Edit: Both the libs were originally created using Visual Studio 2019, Release mode x64. I am using Windows 10, 64 bits architecture. In the folder I'm running gcc from I have the following files:
main.c
list.lib (copied from VS)
list.h (copied form VS)
filelib.lib (copied from VS)
filelib.h (copied from VS)
In my lib code in VS I made sure the functions have c-linkage:
#ifdef __cplusplus
#define C_LINKAGE extern "C"
#else
#define C_LINKAGE
#endif
(each declared function in both the libs starts with the C_LINKAGE macro)
