Re: [Dev-C++] lobjc

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

You shouldn't rename a library file to lobj.a.

The line -lobjc means that the linker is requested to use a file libobjc.a
in the current library search path. If libobjc.a isn't in the path, you
should either add the path, or change the options to look like:
-L<path_to_libfile> -lobjc
which will add one more directory where the linker will look.

First try copying it to c:/dev-cpp/lib with it's original name, and if that doesn't work, then use the above form to force Dev-Cpp to link it.
