Hello,

Compiling the code:

#include <was/storage_account.h>
#include <was/blob.h>
#include <cpprest/filestream.h>
#include <cpprest/containerstream.h>

int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
       const utility::string_t storage_connection_string(U("DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=my_account_name;AccountKey=my_sas_token"));
       azure::storage::cloud_storage_account storage_account = azure::storage::cloud_storage_account::parse(storage_connection_string);
    return 0;
}

with

g++ -std=c++17 test.cpp -o test.o  -I /boost_dir/boost_1_68_0 -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem -I /azure_dir/azure-storage-cpp-master/Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage/includes/ -L -lazurestorage -I /cpp_dir/pkgs/cpprestsdk/Release/include/ -L -lcpprest -lpthread -lssl -lcrypto

returns the error:

Hi @drd2021

you need to specify the path that includes the library you want to link to after -L
