You specify an extra library-dir with: -Lyour/dir/here
an extra include-dir with: -Iyour/dir/here
and the library name by: -lname (only if the library is named
libname.a, else gcc will not find it. You can also add the lib to the
link line as if it's an object: gcc -o prog.exe prog.o /your/dir/extlib.a)
(It's all in gcc.info, and maybe even in the FAQ)

And finally make sure they are compiled with djgpp (but you know this
already, right), because you can't mix non-djgpp-libs with djgpp-libs
(In general. An exception is rsxntdj, but that creates win-apps)

bye now,
 Robert.
