Library linking problem
 

Hi,

I am new to linux and actually also for some extend to programming. I'm having a problem linking a C library to my C code.

The library .a files are in the folder /home/glenn/SOEM1.2.8/lib/linux (libsoem.a)
The header files are in the folder /home/glenn/SOEM1.2.8/soem

After some google searching I thought I could compile my code like this:

gcc -o soem_functions -I/home/glenn/SOEM1.2.8/soem -L/home/glenn/SOEM1.2.8/lib/linux -lsoem soem_function.c

But I am having "undefined reference to" errors for the functions in this library.
I don't see what I'm doing wrong here, can someone help me out ?

Thanks.

you should change the order of the files: first comes the .c, and last the lib -lsoem

That did the trick, rookie mistake, thanks.
