title: How do I include a statically linked library in my Eclipse C++ project?
body: <p>I have an open-source library that's distributed in source form. After I run the Makefile, I end up with a <code>.h</code> file and a <code>.a</code> file that I then want to include in a project that I'm working on. I'm familiar with how I can add these by editing a Makefile manually or by invoking the compiler from the command line, but I'm not sure how I can add these to my Eclipse C++ project, created using the <a href="http://eclipse.org/cdt/">CDT</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I'm currently using Eclipse Indigo. I found some instructions for older versions of Eclipse, but the menus aren't what are described. I poked around a bit, and didn't see anything familiar.</p>
