This is not the jpeg module that you are creating, it is a different library. libtool finds this when you pass -ljpeg (not sure why, as there is no -L flag for that directory). This libjpeg.la is a libtool created file that instructs libtool that the libjpeg.a sitting next to it is a libtool convenience archive. How was the file libjpeg.la, in the directory /home/bubla/projects/devil_modular/lib created?
