You can find the man/info pages for gcc online at http://www.fsf.org I believe. The answer to this specific question is -L/path/to/lib and for include files -I/path/to/include.h. You use -lmylib to specify which library to use and the name of the library is in the form of libmylib.a. I've copied the list on this for the benefit of archiving. ===== Earnie Boyd Newbies, please visit (If you respond to the list, then please don't cc me) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
