Hello!

I'm a total lamer when it comes to compiling and using libraries. Can anyone please put me on the right track? I have a Qt Project in Eclipse on Linux and so far everything compiles and works great. I want to use the newmat library for matrix operations. So I added the newmat sources to my source tree and compiled the package using the provided make files and now I have a libnewmat.a file that is supposed to be the library. How do I use this library now?

In my source code I included

#include <newmat/newmat.h>

and because of this all the newmat source are recompiled each time I build my Qt project. I tried adding the library in project preferences -> C/C++ project paths -> libraries, but it doesn't change anything. What do I have to do?

Thanks
Cruz
