Need help in an undefined reference linker error

[Herman.Schultz]

I am getting the following undefined reference linker error when I
compile my program:

FileModule.o: In function `DoFile':
/home/herman/src/FileModule.cpp:665: undefined reference to `VLC_Init'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I have added libvlc.so file to my 'LIBFILES in my Makefile:
LIBFILES = QTFileLib/libQTFileLib.a \
/home/herman/bin/lib/libvlc.so

And I have added '-Llibvlc' to the LINKOPTS:
LINKOPTS += -Llibvlc

and my program compiles like this:

MyServer: $(CFILES:.c=.o) $(CPPFILES:.cpp=.o) $(LIBFILES)
$(LINK) -o $@ $(CFILES:.c=.o) $(CPPFILES:.cpp=.o) $(COMPILER_FLAGS) $
(LINKOPTS) $(LIBS)


Can you please tell me what am I missing?

Thank you.

You are using an uppercase 'L' where a lowercase should be.
'-L' is for the search paths.
I think you want something like '-lvlc'.
