mkoctfile and linking newbie question

[roumbaba]

Hi,

I am trying to build a .mex file using mkoctfile --mex as described in the
octave manual.
I need to link in some other library 'libmylib.a' in my mex file. Trying to
follow the manual I am doing something like this:

mkoctfile --mex '-I/myincludedir/ -L/mylibdir/ -lmylib' mymexfunction.c

but I get the following message from mkoctfile:
powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: -lmylib: linker input file unused because
linking not done

and 

/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
_mylib_symbol1
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

What am I doing wrong?

I am new at this, any hint will help.

thanks

baba

btw: will a .mex file compiled using mkoctfile run under matlab?
