RE: [Dev-C++] Example of linking

[James G. <Jam...@Cl...>]

This is the process that takes the binary form of your source and
binds/links it together with the start-up code for the operating system and
any library code, again in binary form (.a, .so, .lib), required for your
program to run.

Very simplistic explanation but you get the idea. When you say compile from
within Dev-C++ or using make, nmake, cc etc they run ld to do the linking.

Regards,

James.
