The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Static library in a Makefile

Asked by rfr1tz in Linux Programming

Tags: makefile, static, library

Hi,

I'm working on a program that has a Makefile that contains the following section:

//------------
# Make command to use for dependencies
MAKE=gmake

# If no configuration is specified, "Debug" will be used
ifndef "CFG"
CFG=Debug
endif

#
# Configuration: Debug
#
ifeq "$(CFG)" "Debug"
OUTDIR=Debug
OUTFILE=$(OUTDIR)/Mastester
CFG_INC=-I../../../Code/.../include/ \
      -I../../../Code/.../include/ -I../../../Code/.../ \
      -I../../../Code/.../include/ \
      -I../../../Code/.../include/
CFG_LIB=
CFG_OBJ=
COMMON_OBJ=$(OUTDIR)/file1.o $(OUTDIR)/file2.o \
      $(OUTDIR)/file3.o /* And a lot more */
 
OBJ=$(COMMON_OBJ) $(CFG_OBJ)

COMPILE=g++ -c  -x c++  -O0 -g -o "$(OUTDIR)/$(*F).o" $(CFG_INC) "$<" -DLINUX -DPOSIX -pthread
LINK=g++  -O0 -g -o "$(OUTFILE)" $(OBJ) $(CFG_LIB)
//--------------

This program needs 4 static libraries, say x1.a, x2.a, x3.a, x4.a

I've tried to update this Makefile to add these libraries but it doesn't work (the linker does not see the libraries)
I've tried many ways, one of them is:

//--------------
CFG_LIB= -L/home/.../libdir -lx1, -lx2, -lx3, -lx4
(all the libraries, i.e. x#.a, are physically stored in /home/.../libdir
//--------------

but none of them seems to work.

If you know how update this Makefile to make the linker (g++) see these libraries during the linking, please help.

Thanks a lot,

Rfr1tz
