32.4 Linking

It is easier to use Bigloo for linking object files which have been compiled by Bigloo. An easy way to perform this operation is, after having compiled all the files using the -c option, to invoke Bigloo with the name of the compiled files.

When Bigloo is only given object file name as argument, it searches in the current directory and the directory named in the *load-path* list the Scheme source file in order to perform a correct link. Scheme source files are supposed to be ended by the suffix .scm. Additional suffixes can be added using the -suffix option. Hence, if source files are named foo1.sc and foo2.sc, a link command line could look like:

bigloo -suffix sc foo1.o foo2.o -o foo

Note: In order to understand how the Bigloo linkers operates and which libraries it uses, it might be useful to use the -v2 option which unveil all the details of the compilation and the link.
