BTW, why using links { "my/custom/library.a" }
instead of
links { "rary" } -- without 'lib' prefix ;-)
libdirs { "my/custom" }
?
Because this will produce the incorrect Make file configuration. As stated, it will produce -lrary
flags instead of directly linking the archive file.
Additionally putting the .a
file in the files list gets ignored too.
What seems to be the problem? Using the
links
method to include an .a archive file incorrectly supplements the library with a flag instead of just providing the library path. The archive file will be prefixed with-l
and the relative path to the file is omitted. e.g.-llibrary.a
instead ofmy/custom/library.a
.What did you expect to happen? I expect the
LIBS
make variable to be supplemented with the archive file path. e.g.LIBS=... my/custom/library.a
.What have you tried so far? Researching docs for alternative methods. None tried provided the required outcome. Manually adding the archive path to the LIBS variable in the make file successfully statically links.
How can we reproduce this? Use the link method like so:
What version of Premake are you using? 5.0.0-beta2
