Compiler: Error in linking libraries using makefile

Vijay Krishnan said:

  I am including the library using the following command:

--library =./FCA_4CH_ANC_APP/libraries/FPU_FAST_RTS/rts2800_fpu32_fast_supplement.lib 

The usual way to refer to a library is with two options ...

1. --include_path=/full/path/to/the/directory/here
2. --library=name_of_library.lib

The --include_path option adds that directory to the list of directories the linker searches to find libraries (and other files).  The --library option does not indicate the file is a library.  The linker can work that out on its own without any option.  The --library option tells the linker the file is not located in the current directory, but is in one of the directories indicated with the --include_path options (among other places).

If we include -l"rts2800_fpu32_fast_supplement.lib" in the list of object files we are facing the following error:

make: *** No rule to make target `-l"rts2800_fpu32_fast_supplement.lib"', needed by `FCA_4CH_ANC_CUSW_K8_APP.out'. Stop.

That is because of make, and not the linker.  I cannot be certain what is going on.  My guess is you added -l"rts2800_fpu32_fast_supplement.lib" to some make variable, and other parts of the makefile presume everything in that variable is an object file with a corresponding rule to build it.  

Thanks and regards,
