Linking with Static Libraries (linux)

[Herr Fieldmarshall]

Hello,

I've 2 static libraries (let's say libx.a and liby.a) and an executable
(let's call it exe). exe only makes calls to liby.a but liby.a makes calls
implemented in libx.a

In my Makefile.am files for liby.a I added liby_a_LIBADD = $(path_to_libx.a)
and in the Makefile.am I added a exe_LDADD = $(path_to_libx_a)
$(path_to_liby_a)

Nevertheless I still get Link-errors for the functions called in libx from
liby...

And this has what exactly to do with the C++ language?

Try asking in a ng for your compiler.

Euhm, compilation issues...

Turn the lib order around.
exe_LDADD = $(path_to_liby_a) $(path_to_libx_a)

.... are off-topic here. See the FAQ for this ng, specifically:
http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/how-to-post.html#faq-5.9 The key
phrase is: "Only post to comp.lang.c++ if your question is about the C++
language itself". Your question has nothing to do with the C++ *language*
and everything to do with (compiler/platform-specific) compilation/linkage
issues.
