LDLIB_VER = <Library Name> ...

Programs that link libraries need to build everything with the same compiler. Libraries are generally built with all available compilers. The '''LDLIB_VER''' variable links the library corresponding to the compiler used to build the program.

A setting of '''<Library>''' will link the library named:

$G/install_WIN32/lib/<Library>/<Library>-$G_COMPILER[_g|_p].lib
$G/install_linux/lib/<Library>/lib<Library>-$G_COMPILER[_g|_p].a

The '''_g''' suffix is on the debug version and the '''_p''' suffix is the profiling version. The program will also compile using the headers:

$G/install_linux/include/<Library>/*.h

For example building a library named '''draw''' on Linux would create:

$GTO/install_linux/lib/draw/libdraw-gcc2.a
$GTO/install_linux/lib/draw/libdraw-gcc2_g.a
$GTO/install_linux/lib/draw/libdraw-gcc2_p.a
$GTO/install_linux/lib/draw/libdraw-gcc3.a
$GTO/install_linux/lib/draw/libdraw-gcc3_g.a
$GTO/install_linux/lib/draw/libdraw-gcc3_p.a
$GTO/install_linux/lib/draw/libdraw-gcc4.a
$GTO/install_linux/lib/draw/libdraw-gcc4_g.a
$GTO/install_linux/lib/draw/libdraw-gcc4_p.a

If '''LDLIB_VER''' was set to '''draw''', a debug version of a program compiled with gcc4 would link with:

$G/install_linux/lib/draw/libdraw-gcc4_g.a

To access the headers from the source code you would code:

#include <draw/drawStuff.h>

The header file accessed would be installed in:

$G/install_linux/include/draw/drawStuff.h
