This is a compiler question: you need to pass -lname-of-library to the 
compiler's link line, you may also need -Lpath-to-libraries, both of which 
appear *after* the object files on the command line.  Alternatively you 
could pass the full name of the library to link against "as if" it were 
another object file.  In any case you'll find all this in the gcc 
documentation.
