I want to comple the source file "ex15.c" to "ex15.exe".  I use the
following command line:

gcc -O -o ex15.exe ex15.c -lliballeg

liballeg.a is a library file in \lib

but it gives me a "-lliballeg: no such file" error!  If I do the
following:

gcc -O -o ex15.exe ex15.c c:\djgpp\lib\liballeg.a

it works fine.  Why can't I use the -l linking switch?  Thanks.
