To invoke the compiler, enter:
| cl6x[options] [filenames] [--run_linker [link_options] object files]] |
| cl6x | Command that runs the compiler and the assembler. |
| options | Options that affect the way the compiler processes input files. The options are listed in Table 3-6 through Table 3-29. |
| filenames | One or more C/C++ source files, assembly language source files, and linear assembly files. |
| --run_linker (-z) | Option that invokes the linker. The --run_linker option's short form is -z. See Section 6 for more information. |
| link_options | Options that control the linking process. |
| object files | Names of the object files for the linking process. |
The arguments to the compiler are of three types:
The --run_linker option indicates linking is to be performed. If the --run_linker option is used, any compiler options must precede the --run_linker option, and all link options must follow the --run_linker option.
Source code filenames must be placed before the --run_linker option. Additional object file filenames can be placed after the --run_linker option.
For example, if you want to compile two files named symtab.c and file.c, assemble a third file named seek.asm, and link to create an executable program called myprogram.out, you will enter:
cl6x symtab.c file.c seek.asm --run_linker --library=lnk.cmd
--output_file=myprogram.out
