I am currently using DJGPP v2.something, and am trying to link a .a object
archive in from the RHIDE development suite.

Linking from the command line works, a bit:

gcc myfile.c ..\lib\libwobble.a -o myfile.exe \\ works
gcc myfile.c -lwobble -o myfile.exe           \\ doesn't

But I can't seem to get the linking within RHIDE right at all: I put
..\lib\libwobble.a as an argument to the compiler, to the linker, as a -l
argument... I /think/ I've tried every possible option, but I imagine that
it's just the one I've missed that's the right one :)

Any advice?

thanks,
J-P
