There probably is one but my VMS skills are too weak. 16:17 <anomenat> anyway, the command is just "LINK foo.obj, bar.obj" where foo is the previously compiled foo.c and bar is the library whose presence you are testing for 16:18 <anomenat> but it won't be very portable because "bar.obj" needs to be a proper path, unless it is a system library 16:26 <DrHyde> that's a good start, so thanks! 16:34 <anomenat> no problem. incidentally, VMS command line options can be shortened to their shortest unambiguous form, and so /include_directory can actually just be /inc 16:50 <anomenat> OK, it looks like SYS$LIBRARY is the VMS sort-of-equivalent of /usr/lib on Linux 16:52 <anomenat> thus "LINK foo.obj, sys$library:vaxcrtl/share" links foo.obj with the shared library vaxctrl 16:54 <anomenat> and "LINK foo.obj, sys$library:ucx$ipc/library" links foo.obj with the static library ucx$ipc 16:54 <anomenat> also, "link/exe=bar.exe foo.obj" links foo.obj to create an executable called bar.exe Return
