Code::Blocks v12.11 include .lib to project

How I can add a Some.lib file to my project in Code::Blocks 12.11 version?

I am tried to find linker options (Project, Building Options have a only Post/Prebuild steps, Custom Variables, "Make" commands). #pragma comment(lib, xxx.lib) - useless for GCC compiler, and the function from my lib file - SFileOpenFileEx(file, szArchivedFile, 0, &hFile) showed me the error: not declared (i.e. lib not working.)

How i can resolve this?

Source is:

#include "resourcemanager.h"
#include "filestream.h"

#include <physfs.h>
#include <archivelib> //mylib 

ResourceManager g_resources;

void ResourceManager::init(const char *argv0)
{
    PHYSFS_init(argv0);
    PHYSFS_permitSymbolicLinks(1);
}

void ResourceManager::terminate()
{
    PHYSFS_deinit();
}

//test function for library
bool ResourceManager::openArchive(const std::string& szArchiveName, const std::string& szArchivedFile, const std::string& szFileName)
{
    HANDLE hDat   = NULL;          // Open archive handle
    HANDLE hFile  = NULL;          // Archived file handle
    HANDLE handle = NULL;          // Disk file handle
    int    nError = ERROR_SUCCESS; // Result value

    //openArchive
    if(nError == ERROR_SUCCESS)
    {
        if(!SFileOpenArchive(szArchiveName, 0, 0, &hDat))
            nError = GetLastError();
    }

    if(nError == ERROR_SUCCESS)
    {
        if(!SFileOpenFileEx(hDat, szArchivedFile, 0, &hFile))
            nError = GetLastError();
    }

    //file opens, return true. just test.
    return true;
}

the error is Line: 340|error: ‘SFileOpenArchive’ was not declared in this scope

That's a compilation error, not a link error, so the problem has nothing to do with libraries. You need to make a declaration of the function visible, which is normally done by including a header.

If the SFileOpenArchive you want is the one in StormLib (which would be useful information to include in the question) then the documentation clearly states that the header is StormLib.h, so you need to add

#include "StormLib.h"

to your program.

EDIT: If after that you have linking problems, see How do I link to a library with Code::Blocks?.
