how to install libevent on eclipse c/c++

I am trying and using libevent in my eclipse c/c++ project. I downloaded the libevent library using this command 

 sudo apt-get install libevent-dev

It is working normally so that in the specific directory I was looking for a libevent.a file to include it as library in my eclipse project but I can only find a libevent.la

How can I use it in this case? I am using ubuntu 12.04 and eclipse Version: Kepler Release

do you see it with command:

dpkg -L libevent-dev|grep libevent.a

In normally, libevent-dev will install libevent to standard system library location, so you just need to add event to Project Properties -> C/C++ General -> Path And Symbols -> Library Paths
