Ok, that's good to know for the next time. In this case there were only a
few files so it was ok.

Yes, "penciltest" was probably a confusing name. I expected that
pencil_build will be compiled and saved as a file called penciltest. I did
not confuse it with pencil_test. But I was not aware that you have to use
two source files together to build one library file. (You do not have to
explain. If I use C more often then I am sure I can read this in every C
book).

With your help I was able to build both the library and test binary
without problems and ended up with a draw file. So for me my problem is
solved now!

Thank you very much!
