this does not solve the problem, because not only the linker have to be
choosen ... the "*.c" files itself should be compiled using "g++" and
not "gcc"

Hello,
I'm having a hard time understanding why you would want to do this. What problem does building the library with a C compiler and then again with a C++ compiler actually solve? Why can't you just use the C library from your C++ program and call it a day?

Just wondering, thanks,
