Linking a shared library using gcc

Question

I have a shared library (*.so) created using Real View Compiler Tools (RVCT 3.2) on windows target. Then I try to link this *.so file with my application using gcc on linux syst

Answer 1

gcc -lmyfile should be enough (provided that your library is named libmyfile.so). The linker searches for shared objects when possible and AFAIK prefers them.

Answer 2

What worked for me was:

gcc -L. -l:myfile.so
