I am trying to use a regex library in my project. I found this regex library from aminet but cannot understand how to include this in my project.

I compile my executable using a make file. I have placed regex.library in my project directory. I then edited my makefile with the -L. and -l flags as follows;

Code:

LIBS = -lamiga -lauto -L. -lregex

However when I try to compile I get an error message saying "Cannot open -lregex. No such file or directory."

I have tried -lregex.library or moving the regex.libraty to the System:Libs but to no avail.

Anyone knows how I can include a third party library to my project?
