I have been trying to reference a static library (file.lib) using linker options such as "-l" and "-L". All attempts have been unsuccessful (one possible reason is) because the "-l" option only takes the name of the library (without a leading "lib" in the filename and no suffix) and probably not a path to the library file. The "L" option takes a path to the folder containing the library, but it does not work for me. http://mingw.org/wiki/LibraryPathHOWTO My question is how do you reference a static library within NetBeans? You can modify the (NetBeans) project's linking options by right clicking on the project and selecting properties. From there, you can specify a library folder, a specific library file, or you can enter a specific linker option such as "-lfile". I have tried various ways to get my project to use the dot lib without success. When I build the project, I get a lot of undefined references.

You don't need -l option, just add library to g++ command line as ordinary object file.
