Linker Options
7-14
7.4.9.1 Name an Alternate Library Directory (–i Option)
The –i option names an alternate directory that contains object libraries. The
syntax for this option is:
–i dir
The
dir names a directory that contains object libraries; the space between –i
and the directory name is optional.
When the linker is searching for object libraries named with the –l option, it
searches through directories named with –i first. Each –i option specifies only
one directory, but you can use several –i options per invocation. When you use
the –i option to name an alternate directory, it must precede the –l option on
the command line or in a command file.
For example, assume that there are two archive libraries called r.lib and
lib2.lib. The table below shows the directories that r.lib and lib2.lib reside in,
how to set environment variable, and how to use both libraries during a link.
Select the row for your operating system:
Operating System Pathname Invocation Command
DOS \ld and \ld2
lnk500 f1.obj f2.obj –i\ld –i\ld2 –lr.lib –llib2.lib
UNIX /ld and /ld2
lnk500 f1.obj f2.obj –i/ld –i/ld2 –lr.lib –llib2.lib
