Sounds like you have not referenced the lib on your link line, or have linked the objects in the wrong order. The gcc linker (like many linkers) is order sensitive - you need to reference the thing that uses a lib before you reference the lib, so the linker knows which bits it needs to keep. Anything it finds in a lib that has not already been asked for by some other linked object will be discarded to save space, so if you list your libs before your code, nothing gets linked. > I'm using windows xp and trying to compile with > gcc (my ide is code::blocks).
