[Dev-C++] adding libraries to linker

[Noorez K. <coo...@ho...>]

I have done some tests with the compiler and somethings don't make sence. 
under tools/compiler options\directories\libraries, I took everything out 
and I tried compiling and it worked! How does that happen? Doesn't the 
compiler need to know where to look for the libraries to link in? And if I 
add my own library to the library directory, it doesn't get linked in. I 
also tried adding to the linker the library for linking, and it only worked 
when I gave the full path to the library. Can't I specify my own directory 
under the library directories and just give the name of the library to the 
linker?
