-lx

Add library libx.a to linker's list of search libraries.

    SPARC: 77/90 x86:77

Pass -lx to the linker to specify additional libraries for ld to search for unresolved references. ld links with object library libx. If shared library libx.so is available (and -Bstatic or -dn are not specified), ld uses it, otherwise, ld uses static library libx.a. If it uses a shared library, the name is built in to a.out. No space is allowed between -l and x character strings.

Example: Link with the library libV77:


demo% f77 any.f -lV77

Use -lx again to link with more libraries.

Example: Link with the libraries liby and libz:


demo% f77 any.f -ly -lz
