How to determine correct linker order for a c++ project in cdt eclipse?

Question

I dont want to randomly place libraries in arbitrary order hoping I get the order correct. Is there a systematic way to determine the linker library order in eclipse cdt?

ERROR: cannot find -l{some project}

Answer 1

You are correct saying that -l directives must follow a certain order. However, this error means a different thing. The linker simply failed to find the library file you have specified. Perhaps, you're missing the -L directive which specifies the folder where the linker looks for the library files. E. g.

-L../bin -l{libname}
