Let me correct myself. It works no that I have both the include and library paths absolute. I have no idea if relative paths work or not. It worked until it did a c-compilation at which time it quit working; so I'm getting lost in my library and test config files.
Let me see if I understand this:
I want to make a library for the Lego NXT. It requires include files and a .lib file to be linked.
? 1. Setting these externals in the config file for the library does nothing because a library only produces byte code with no c compile.
? 2. If someone used the library they must remember to add the two externals to their config file. (The eiffel compiler does not pick up the requirement for the externals even though the project is using a libray that requires the externals?)
