eclipse CDT /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -l

this is my code :

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice.h>
#include <libimobiledevice/lockdown.h>
#include <libimobiledevice/installation_proxy.h>
#include <libimobiledevice/notification_proxy.h>
#include <libimobiledevice/afc.h>

int main(void) {
    idevice_t phone = NULL;
    char *udid = NULL;
    idevice_new(&phone, udid);
    puts("!!!hello!!!"); /* prints !!!Hello World!!! */
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

i installed libimobiledevice library and this is

#ls /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu | grep libimob
libimobiledevice.a
libimobiledevice.so
libimobiledevice.so.4
libimobiledevice.so.4.0.1

but why in configure CDT to use shared library like picture CDT error ?

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llibimobiledevice

enter image description here

Answer

Under libraries add imobiledevice instead of libimobiledevice. When you use -lx, linker searches for libx.so. In your case linker searched for liblibimobiledevice.so which it could not find.
