[Dev-C++] Linker :: Under the hood.

[Siva C. <siv...@ya...>]

Hello all,

I am trying to understand how the linker goes about
doing its work. Say I have two linker options -lx and
-ly. If I pass them in the order -lx -ly the linker
seems to be doing its job fine. But if I pass -ly -lx
the linker spits hell a lot of undefined references at
me!! Can someone throw light on how the linker goes
about doing its work under the hood. Specifically,
what has the order got to do with it?

Siva Chandra
