Re: [Dev-C++] lobjc

[Alfred P. R. <al...@ya...>]

Actually, I just found this out (the adding of the lib prefix and the .a suffix) recently (within the last 2 days) doing a very close read of the GCC documentation.  I've been fighting this all the time I've used Dev-Cpp without catching that one little paragraph!  So always read the documentation in full paying attention to all of the details.

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
 -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.
