Eclipse CDT: How to relink static libraries without Project Clean>>Project Rebuild

Is it possible to rebuild a c++ project in eclipse without recompiling to link the static libraries? I can't find the build settings to allow you to do this...

I'm a bit new to c++. My understanding is that if you have a static library, the .o files are linked at the end. However, on every build, all the .cpp files of the executable needs to be recompiled.

My question is:

If none of the .cpp files of the exe were modified, but the static library source was modified, is there a way to link the static library to the exe .o files without rebuilding?

Add your static library under the Linker-Settings->Miscellaneous->Other objects. Your executable will just be relinked, in case the library is newer. No compilation.
