   I need to link to a special lib file that i have copied into the lib
   dir.   when i compile it complains about a function that i call that is
   in the special library.
   the name of  the file is libpcv.a
   gxx <filename> -lpcv
   i am assuming that this is the correct way of compiling
   btw i am using djgpp v2

Did you ranlib the library when you built it?  Ranlib builds the symbol table
that the linker needs to be able to search the library.  If not run:

ranlib <LIBPATH>/libpcv.a
