NewEra 3.0 & Static Libs

Hi all - Im upgrading to 3.0 from 2.2 and have run into a brick wall. Ive got 2 static libraries (not .dll's, but .lib's) which contain hundreds of mundane functions which each program in my system calls at some point or another. Ive linked these libs into a test project from within the App Builder (component, modify, libraries, add) but they dont appear to be linking into the program properly. I keep getting unresolved external errors relating to the called functions located in the libraries. I checked the produced makefile and the libraries ARE being added to the "LINK_LIBS" variable. Has anyone used static libraries successfully with 3.0 and if so, can they give me some hints as to what I may be doing wrong or leaving out?!? Thanx in advance, Bob
