This section explains the environment variables.

The environment variables of the optimizing linker and the examples when specifying them on the command line are shown below.

Specify the default library that the optimizing linker uses.

The library specified by the -library option has the precedence for linking.

After that, if unresolved symbols remain, default libraries HLNK_LIBRARY1, HLNK_LIBRARY2, and HLNK_LIBRARY3 are searched in that order.

>set HLNK_LIBRARY1=usr1.lib

>set HLNK_LIBRARY2=usr2.lib

>set HLNK_LIBRARY3=usr3.lib

Specify the folder where the optimizing linker creates temporary files.

If this environment variable is not specified, the files are created in the current folder.

>set HLNK_TMP=D:\workspace\tmp

Specify the folder where the input files for the optimizing linker are stored.

The files specified by the -input and -library options are searched from the current folder and the folder specified by HLNK_DIR in that order.

However, the files specified with wildcard characters are searched in the current folder.

>set HLNK_DIR=D:\workspace\obj1;D:\workspace\obj2
