New ContributorIs there any example of compiling with a library (.a) file on SoC?
On the windows7 PC, the compiler is: 'Invoking: GCC C Compiler 4 [arm-linux-gnueabihf]' I am trying to use Pth, and I can certainly configure and make it on the de10-nano itself, however the libpth....
I found the clue here: https://developer.arm.com/docs/100070/latest/image-structure-and-generation/specifying-user-libraries-when-linking
You can use the
--library=name
option to specify static libraries, libname
.a.
So - even though the actual filename is libpth.a - however the build tool only works if I say it is: pth
the tool adds the lib at the front and the .a at the end, and will not countenance the user supplying the full (and valid!) filename!?!?!
good grief.

New ContributorI should note that hello_world compiles fine and targets down onto the de10-nano - but of course it is only a single source file. How to incorporate big lumps of 3rd party code (such as a static library) is what I am missing.
