In a workspace with two projects, link the library into the executable. Note that the project name is used to specify the link; Premake will automatically figure out the correct library file name and directory and create a project dependency.
```lua
workspace "MyWorkspace"

workspace "MyWorkspace"
configurations { "Debug", "Release" }

You may specify the linking mechanism explicitly for each library. To set the link type of a library explicitly, add a `:static` or `:shared` suffix to the library. Note that this functionality is only available for the `gcc` and `clang` toolsets.
```lua
workspace "MyWorkspace"
configurations { "Debug", "Release" }
language "C++"
project "MyExecutable"
kind "ConsoleApp"
files "**.cpp"
links { "LibraryA:static", "LibraryB:shared" }
```
You may also create links between non-library projects. In this case, Premake will generate a build dependency (the linked project will build first), but not an actual link. In this example, MyProject uses a build dependency to ensure that MyTool gets built first. It then uses MyTool as part of its build process.
