#15669 — On Windows 7, How do you reference a "static library" (a dot lib) in NetBeans

I'm using Windows 7, NetBeans 7.1.2 and the C:\MinGW\bin\g++.exe compiler/linker.

I have been trying to reference a static library (file.lib) using linker options such as "-l" and "-L". All attempts have been unsuccessful (one possible reason is) because the "-l" option only takes the name of the library (without a leading "lib" in the filename and no suffix) and probably not a path to the library file. The "L" option takes a path to the folder containing the library, but it does not work for me.

http://mingw.org/wiki/LibraryPathHOWTO

My question is how do you reference a static library within NetBeans?

You can modify the project's linking options by right clicking on the project and selecting properties. From there, you can specify a library folder, a specific library file, or you can enter a specific linker option such as "-lfile".

I have tried various ways to get my project to use the dot lib without success. When I build the project, I get a lot of undefined references.

Thanks

Have you tried passing the full pathname of the "dot lib" as 
argument to the g++ call without any extra options? (Just an 
idle guess on my side.)

If it works, then be happy, otherwise be aware that g++
and "dot lib"s aren't really on topic here in a Java newsgroup.

g++ -L\foo -lbar z.cpp

will look for \foo\libbar.a

g++ z.cpp \foo\bar.lib

should look for \foo\bar.lib

You use JNI. You have to write some Java glue code. You put all your
C/C++ in a DLL. You use System.load or System.loadlibrary

Why do so many operating systems refuse to define a standard 
temporary file marking mechanism? It could be a reserved lead character
such as the ~ or a reserved extension such as .tmp.
It could be a file attribute bit. Because they refuse, there is no 
fool-proof way to scan a disk for orphaned temporary files and delete them. 
Further, you can't tell where the orhaned files ame from. 
This means the hard disks gradually fill up with garbage.

Does that reference a static library in NetBeans??
