call C libraries from within nested folder

[MASNSN]

Hi experts

I have a little issue with the gcc compiler suppose you have two files library.c and library.h and you want to use them within your main.c file
You do
#include "library.h" and you start make use of the library in your code and you will not encouter a problem and the code is executed normally if the main.c,library.h and library.c are in the same folder, however if you place library.c and library.h in a separate folder say a nested one and you try to use the library using "foldername/library.h" then all methods within that library will not be recognized at the main.c. The question is how to use c libraries that are in different folders than the executing code one the main.c in this case

Thank you

You still have to compile library.c

Hi LB
Thank you for the response. The C library is compiled but it is located in a different project in a different folder other than the executing program that's the issue. when all the staff is in the same folder it executes normally but in a separate folder the compiler tells me that it doesn' t recognise the all the staff within the c library

Thank you

You should tell it to compile it. You can compile files as the same project even if the sources are in different folders ;)
