[llvm-dev] Linking third-party libraries using lld?

[Brian Cain via llvm-dev]

The source code of the relevant projects isn't quite as relevant as the
error messages from lld itself. Unless the errors are somehow specific to
lld, it's less likely to get the best help on this list.

Common errors are unresolved symbols, is that the error you're getting?

"I want to know how to link third-party libraries into my code using the
lld linker" -- there is not much to it.  lld works mostly just like ld, and
if clang is your driver anyways it should be nigh identical.

There's a subtle difference between the BFD ld and lld regarding how
libraries are implicitly grouped. But I'd say it's not a likely first place
to look. Can you successfully link using ld/gold?  Or I suppose in your
case the known-good baseline might be with LINK.EXE?
