I haven't tried this with PODS, but it should work the same as on any Linux or Unix system. Try this:
-lGrabba The way it's done with Unix cc is to put the linker options after all the compiler options, and to include a library, you specify -l followed immediately by the name of the library, without the 'lib' prefix. For example, to link to the math library (libm.a), you'd say cc src.c -lm Another thing: make is not running from your source code "src" directory. As you can see in the gcc command, it's referring to AppMain.o as "src/AppMain.o". IIRC, if you are building a Release version, make runs using the directory named "Release" as its working directory, and for a Debug build, it runs in "Debug". The object files end up in Release/src or Debug/src, respectively. There is also a "rsc" directory there, which may be confusing things a bit. Try specifying the directory named in the -L option by an absolute path spec. Or change the relative path spec to get to the correct directory. Another thing you might be doing wrong is putting your library in the rsc directory rather than the src directory, along with your source code. (I don't see why you put it in the rsc directory; that's for resources handled by the Resource Editor.) In fact, if you put your .a library file in the "src" directory along with your source code and do a Refresh in PODS (leftside "Navigation" pane, right click on project name, select Refresh), PODS may even include it for you in the Managed Make automatically. Try it.
