Re: [Mingw-users] Can't use external Libs?

[Depo C. <dep...@gm...>]

Thanks, but I took out suffix and have it in lib path:
(also it's Eclipse CDT that is setting it, not me)

Regardless, I tried it manually:

gcc -L*C:\MinGW\lib* -p -pg -oTestC.exe TestC.o -llib*glfw *-llib*glfwdll *
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: 
cannot find -llibglfw
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: 
cannot find -llibglfwdll
