First, this might be, because you are one the wrong place. This is the
developer mailing list for CDT, meaning here should only topics be posted
concerning the development of CDT itself and/or its extensions.

You'd better use the newsgroup.

Second, having the linker not finding an object does not have to do with a
header include path, but the library search paths. Though, you would need to
add your library path and the library name in the GCC-Linker Properties
pages of your testCPP project. Then on the first linker page, the cmd-line
should have two parameters -L<the path to you lib-binary> -l<the libname>.

If you don't use the GCC-conventions according library-naming (libMyLib.a
for library MyLib), you need to add your lib on the "Miscelleanous" page
with full path name <path>/libraryname.ext.
