I have one example file that was written in C and came with
instructions on how to compile it with the included object  file to
produce an executable file.  That worked fine.  I wrote a very basic
C++ file, and at the command line tried doing the same thing to link
my program with the same object  file:
gcc myfile.cc -O2 -o myfile.exe -lalleg objfile.o and for some reason
gcc complains that it can't find the functions which are defined in
the .O file.  Yes, I included the .O file's header file in my main
program.  How would I compile my program so that it links with the .O
file?  And, how can I do this in RHIDE?  I tried adding -l objfile.o
to the linker options, but that didn't work.  And lastly, I do have
the source to the .o file (written in C).  I compiled it so that it
was a .A library file.  When re-compiling the example file, in the
Libraries options I added the library name.  In RHIDE, the example
compiled fine.  But, in my program, I got the same error (Can't find
function ...).

 are all guilty of possesion of a controlled substance"
