[vlc] Problems linking to libvlc.a

[Varol Okan]

Bonjour,

First off thank you for VLC this is a very interesting project. I love 
it and I would love to write a interface to the library in Qt. 
Unfortunately qvlc is not built anymore and the PAST TWO DAYS I could 
not find any information.

I don't have GTK++ installed, thus I don't have wxWidget, thus I don't 
have the wxWidget GUI. HELP ...

I have a simple application main.cpp

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <vlc/vlc.h>
int main( int argc, char ** argv )
{
const char *pVersion = NULL;
pVersion = VLC_Version ();
printf (" <%s> \n", pVersion);
return 0;
}

which I compile using:
g++ -c -pipe -O2 -march=i586 -mcpu=i686 -Wall -W -g -I. -I/usr/include 
-o main.o main.cpp
g++ -o test main.o `vlc-config --cxxflags --libs`

but I get this error message :
main.o(.text+0x16): In function `main':
/home/me/test_vlc/main.cpp:7: undefined reference to `VLC_Version'

I compiled vlc 0.8.1 from source and have only a static library libvlc.a.
I tried a lot of variations on the build commands, notably adding -lvlc 
but no luck there just more error messages.

Can someone help me ?
