I need some portability help. In config/auto/stackdir.pl (the stack
growth direction test) I want to portably compile and link together three
files. (The functions are in separate files to prevent compiler
optimizations from fouling up the stack direction test.)
Currently, config/auto/stackdir.pl runs the following commands:
$cc $ccflags -I./include -c test0.c
$cc $ccflags -I./include -c test1.c
$cc $ccflags -I./include -c test2.c
$link $linkflags ${cc_exe_out}test$exe test0$o test1$o test2$o $libs
Unfortunately, that doesn't work with Microsoft's Visual C because the
cc_exe_out flag is -Fe, and that doesn't work for the linker. I'd like to
change that last command to
$link $linkflags ${link_exe_out}test$exe test0$o test1$o test2$o $libs
but I'm unsure what to put for link_exe_out for each of the three
compilers mentioned in config/init/hints/mswin32.pl, nor for the
compilers used under OS/2 and VMS.
NOTE: The variable is called $link, but it could be 'cc' or 'cl' or
something like that. It's whatever command I should call to link together
the three object files to create an executable.
So, my simple request: What is the correct command line invocation
for each of those systems to link together object files?
