TASKING VX-toolset for ARM User GuideControl program option: --library-directory (-L) /--ignore-default-library-pathMenu entry1. Select Linker » Libraries.The Library search path box shows the directories that are added to the search path for library files.2. To define a new directory for the search path, click on the Add button in the Library search pathbox.3.

If you want to specify multiple paths, use the option --library-directory for each separatepath.The default path is$(PRODDIR)\lib\architecture\endianness.If you specify only -L (without a pathname) or the long option --ignore-default-library-path, the linkerwill not search the default path and also not in the paths specified in the environment variables LIBARM.So, the linker ignores steps 2 and 3 as listed below.The priority order in which the linker searches for system libraries specified with the option --library (-l)is:1. The path that is specified with the option --library-directory.2. The path that is specified in the environment variables LIBARM.3. The default directory $(PRODDIR)\libarchitecture\endianness.ExampleSuppose you call the control program as follows:ccarm test.c --library-directory=c:\mylibs --library=carm660
