Sibling & System Lib Order - g++ Linux #9
Description
I have a workspace which has 2 projects, an engine static lib project and a game exectuable project, which is dependant on the engine lib, the engine is dependant on several system libs, however due to g++ link order requirements it is failing to link. It seems that sibling projects are added to the 'Options' attribute of the linker element, and than system libs are added as individual library child elements, however CodeLite resolves the individual libs first, and than adds on the linker options afterwards.
Repro Steps
- Create a 2 project workspace, 1 lib and 1 executable.
- Make the executable dependant on the lib, and make the lib dependant on system libs.
- Attempt to build, notice the order of the linker call ie. '/usr/bin/g++ -o ../Game -lX11 -lXt -lXm -lpthread ../binaries/libEngine.a'
- Linking fails due to libEngine.a needing to be linked before the system libs.
