Description
I am a beginner in programming on Linux, so this could well be my problem. However I found out that when linking shared object to an executable (that is defined in the same workspace) seem not to work. Compiling and linking works fine. Though when I run the application like:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./UnitTest
Then I get the following error:
./UnitTestd: error while loading shared libraries: ../../bin/libCored.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The Makefile contains:
LIBS += ../../../bin/libCored.so
LDDEPS += ../../../bin/libCored.so
I noticed codelite (and Makefile) that it generated as linker option: -shared;../../bin/libCored.so. When I change the settings in codelite to -shared and add a library search path ../../bin and then link to Cored that it links and then also runs fine.
As stated, I am not sure if this is something I did wrong or that the automatic linking of projects in a workspace generates the wrong setting in Alpha6. Please let me know if you need more info.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the generated Makefile setup with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./UnitTest and compare it with the working codelite configuration. Inspect the LIBS, LDDEPS, linker options, and generated shared-library path; done means the generated project links and the resulting application starts without the missing-library error.
