Hello world example to reproduces
I am using clang to compile windows programs using the MSVC libraries and
tools, and the traditional gcc style driver (not clang-cl).
The attached example code needs an external library ("oldnames.lib") to link.
So normally, I would call it like this (the syntax works fine when comping with
MingW instead of MSVC):
clang -target i686-pc-windows-msvc main.c -o main.exe -loldnames
Unfortunately, this produces the following error (sorry, the error is in
German):
LINK : warning LNK4044: Nicht erkannte Option /loldnames; wird ignoriert.
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: Eingabedatei "oldnames.obj" kann nicht geöffnet
werden.
clang.exe: error: linker command failed with exit code 1181 (use -v to see
invocation)
It seems that "-loldnames" is passed directly to the MSVC linker. This happens
with every library, not just "oldnames".
As a workaround, the following call works:
clang -target i686-pc-windows-msvc main.c -o main.exe -Wl,oldnames.lib</pre>
