I've bought a class. I have the header (.h) and an object-file (.o). How do I link the .o file in my NetBeans IDE ?

Thanks!

Lol -- +1. What **compiler** are you using? – Billy ONeal Jan 12 '11 at 01:21
I'm using g++. I know how to link it using the command line, but where do I set this up in Netbeans? – NetBeaner Jan 12 '11 at 01:32

You need to add your .o file as an external library. I was able to accomplish this using the following steps:

Go to Project Properties
Under the Build->Linker options, add a library to the Libraries section
Click 'Add Library File'
Navigate to your .o file and select the absolute path option
Rebuild

Hopefully this will work for you also.
