I am trying to link with custom static library (.a file) using
xcode 1.5 under 10.3.9
The library does not have the "lib" prefix in its name, lets say
it is called "MyLib.a"
Linker is not able to find it, reporting error "ld: can't locate
file for: -lMyLib"
If i rename library to "libMyLib.a" in Finder, and re-add it to
the project, then it is linked ok.
Could i make XCode not to require "lib" prefix to every library?

If you're just interested in accumulating a mass of sources into a
linkable ball, you can look forward to upgrading to 10.4 and Xcode
2.2. They now include a "binary object" target type which can be
named haphazardly and linked into another project outside of the
usual "library" rules.
This is also fixed in the IDE for regular static libraries and
dynamic libraries in Xcode 2.1.
-l always requires the library to start with "lib" and end in ".a" or
".dylib". The nice thing there is that this can find the library in a
variety of places without you having to specify them each time, via
the library search paths.
But if you just pass in the library by its full path, then the linker
will do the right thing, without the name having to be in any format.
So Xcode now tests the name of the library, and uses -l if the
library name follows the -l style, and just passes in the full path
otherwise.
Xcode 2.1 requires Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger", however.
