               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Please pay attention: GCC complains about bcd.h, not about libbcd.a.  
It says it cannot find it.  So the actual question is: where did you put 
bcd.h?

The first way (with -lbcd) is the right one, the second one will only work
if libbcd.a is in the current directory.  (I suggest to read the docs of
the compiler and the linker instead of randomly trying some command
lines.)
