Re: [Dev-C++] using of libs

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Because the compiler dont looks around in your library path and picks
up file at random. The only exception is that most object file formats
allows the compiler to add a reference to a standard library that the
linker should use. A lot of cimpilers uses that to specify that the linker
should pick up the standard c library.

The linker uses the library path to locate the library files that are
mentioned either in your project, or that are specifically mentioned in
the object files. Including a header file and calling a function from a
library will not add information about a library in the object file. It
will just add the name of the function.
