title: Netbeans: how to include other c++ static library project?
body: <p>I am really new to c++ and am using Netbeans for now.</p>
  
  <p>I managed to create a Sign.h and Sign.cpp containing a working class <code>Sign</code>.
  I added these to a Console Project and it works great:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  #include &lt;iostream&gt;
    #include &lt;ostream&gt;
    #include "Sign.h"
  
    int main()
    {
        Sign sign = Sign::parse("b");
        std::cout &lt;&lt; sign.toString() &lt;&lt; " " &lt;&lt; sign.getValue() &lt;&lt;"\n";
    }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I want to create a static library containing the <code>Sign</code> class, so I created a static library and added <code>Sign.cpp</code> and <code>Sign.h</code> to it. The problem now is, that I can't seem to get my Sign class to be included in the main console program.</p>
  
  <p>I added the library in <code>Options =&gt; Build =&gt; Linker =&gt; Libraries</code>, and added it to the <code>required projects</code>. However I can't use <code>#include &lt;Sign&gt;</code> or <code>#include &lt;Sign.h&gt;</code>.</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing here?</p>
