Did a fresh install of 4.4 since I was having this problem in 4.3: Doing a build creates a make such as:
gcc -o "myprog" ./src/myprog.o -lmylib.a
which returns “/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmylib.a”
Happens with nvcc as well. It appears that the linker isn’t recognizing the “-l” prefix and treating it as part of the filename. If I manually execute the command without the prefix, then it finds the library (after which I have different problems - see part 2)
