That's an "I" as in "include", bot a lowercase "L". Use this command: clang++ -g2 -O3 -I /usr/local/include test.cxx /usr/local/lib/libcryptopp.a -o test.exe An archive like libcryptopp.a is just a collection of object files. It is equivalent to saying: clang++ -g2 -O3 -I /usr/local/include test.cxx /usr/local/lib/cryptlib.o /usr/local/lib/cpu.o /usr/local/lib/integer.o ... -o test.exe A share object like libcryptopp.dylib or libcryptopp.so is the same collection of object files in an executable format that can be loaded at runtime.
