Linking

After linking the programs together, check for attention messages and error messages. The following items might vary for your client machine's operating system:

Different set of linker/loader flags
Some programs require a different set of linker/loader flags.
Library files in a different directory
The library files required to complete the linkage could be in a different directory.
Library files have different names
Depending on how the client machines' operating systems are installed, the library files might have different names.
Different libraries required
The system variables could be in different libraries for the different operating systems.
Compiler is not compatible with the system toolkit
Some operating systems support multiple versions of C compilers. Some C compilers, however, might not match the various system toolkits.
Different library model required
The library models have to match with the compilation time.
System variables not supported
Some system variables are supported during compile time but not supported by the link time.
