title: link static lib in eclipse cdt
body: <p>I am sorry!  I have googled this a lot and cannot find an answer!  It's dumb I know.</p>
  
  <p>I cannot link in static libraries(*.a) in eclipse cdt.  I listed them all in Project->Settings-> GCC C++ linker -> Libraries.  I used the absolute path to make sure I had the lib correct... and i get:</p>
  
  <p>cannot find -l/usr/local/lib/libboost_date_time.a</p>
  
  <p>I am sure it's stupid whatever I am doing wrong :(</p>
  
  <p>Edit -- and i should mention i am linking the libraries at run time...</p>
