Here's an example of what works for me (in c++):

the lib is: libtest.h, libtest.cc

gcc -c libtest.cc -o libtest.a

[copy libtest.a file to djgpp\lib dir]

the program is: prog.cc [includes libtest.h]

gcc -c prog.cc -o prog.o
gxx -o prog.exe prog.o -ltest
[run prog.exe and it should work]


Name your lib:
"lib"[your name]".a"

It works for me but I don't know why yet.? Eli? DJ?
