With CodeWarrior you have to show the files in the project manager
window. They are then either linked in at that time if they are static
libraries or are used to resolve symbolics at link time and actually
linked in at runtime with DLL's

If you can't add them to the project dylib shoujld be, you will have to
add them with the file mapping. as a Mach-O Importer

Look in the CodeWarrior Examples, for the Mach-0 example for dynamic
libraries to see how it is done.
