library not found for -lcomponents

[privatepepper]

Hello,

So, I tried to add qt-material-widgets to my project. In the beginning, everything worked fine, but when I restarted my laptop I got these errors:

error: library not found for -lcomponents
error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

How I add these qt-material-widgets to my project:

1. I downloaded files from the qt-material-widgets github
2. I builder the qt-material-widgets.pro file
3. Then I added components file and libcomponents.a file (from build-qt-material-widgets- file) to my project:

4. And my last step was:

INCLUDEPATH += components/
LIBS += -L$$PWD/./ -lcomponents

What did I do wrong?

By the way, if i reinstall the qt-material-widgets and re-do these steps everything works fine, but if i turn off my laptop and then turn it back on, I am getting these errors again.

@privatepepper Since it's a static lib:

LIBS += $$PWD/libcomponents.a

Thanks for the help, I changed my code to:

LIBS += $$PWD/libcomponents.a

And now I am getting a new error:

error: no such file or directory: '/Users/L/Documents/C++/Projects/Sorting-Algorithms/Sorting_Algorithms/libcomponents.a/'

Hi,

From your picture, that file was not downloaded (see the cloud icon). Where exactly is it stored ?

Ohhh..., I clicked on cloud icon and downloaded that file, and my project started working, thank you:)
