C++: External library in eclipse CDT

Now I am using eclipse CDT for my C/C++ Application, but there is problem when I link my external library, it could not be loaded properly at run time, even through I put the library file near the source file, I gave the library path, and it's name correctly.

project directory:

  1. include(.h files)
  2. source(.cpp. files..)
  3. lib(libbozorth3.a,LSFMatcher.a)

I want link that static libraries with my application I follow this steps:

  1. project->properties->general->path and symbols->include directory path,and libraries(bozorth3.a,LSFMatcher.a),and add library path .
  2. and also i add the same library in linker section also

When I build the program it displays a error cannot find -lbozorth3.a cannot find -lLSFMatcher.a

So I need the correct steps to add the external library to c/c++ application.

I normally configure

  1. the library
  2. the library search path (Needed for compiliation)
  3. the runtime search path (-rpath Linker option)

(see images below and exchange the path in the Linker flags to that one you used in the library search path)
