link a library without lib as prefix in linux using MPC

Question

i have to link a static library which doesn't have lib as a prefix in it's name. i know how to link with simple g++ i.e as following

g++ -l:"mylib.a" a.cpp

i want to do the same using MPC. i tried following in MPC file. those are not working.

lit_libs += $(LIB_NAME) generates g++ -l"mylib" a.cpp which needs lib as prefix.

pure_libs += $(LIB_NAME) generates g++ "mylib" a.cpp which cannot find the library.

please give me option of MPC to link libraries which doesn't have lib has prefix in it.

Answer 1

pure_libs += -l:$(LIB_NAME).a

this resolved my problem.
