I didn't ask if you had the path listed. I asked if you had the
library listed in your project. Two completely different questions.

That is because you have now done what I asked about in the first
place, and added the library to your project.

It is one way.
The older, more traditional way is to add the library to your project
so that it will be included in the linking step.... Or add it to your
linker command in a make file.
