I have the following makefile
CXXFILES = pthreads.cpp
CXXFLAGS = -O3 -o prog -rdynamic -D_GNU_SOURCE -L./libmine
LIBS = -lpthread -ldl
all:
$(CXX) $(CXXFILES) $(LIBS) $(CXXFLAGS)
clean:
rm -f prog *.o
I am trying to include the ./libmine
library within CXXFLAGS
, but it seems like it is not the right way to include a static library, because when I compile the program, I get many undefined references error. So what is actually the right way to include a static library in the makefile?
use
LDFLAGS= -L<Directory where the library resides> -l<library name>
Like :
LDFLAGS = -L. -lmine
for ensuring static compilation you can also add
LDFLAGS = -static
Or you can just get rid of the whole library searching, and link with with it directly.
say you have main.c fun.c
and a static library libmine.a
then you can just do in your final link line of the Makefile
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) main.o fun.o libmine.a
