Compiler Option: -nolib
 
Do not include specific library(s).

Syntax

-nolib < libname1 [, libname2 [, ... ] ] >

Parameters

libname1, libname2, ...
Name (without name's extension) of each library to exclude.

Description

The -nolib compiler option allows excluding specific libraries when linking, no matter where it came from (default lib, #inclib, -l, objinfo...).
(more fine-grained control than -nodeflibs, and not only for default libraries)

This allows selectively blacklisting libraries and can be used to:
- remove unused dependencies when linking against shared libraries (when linking against static libraries via -l, the linker automatically skips unused libs, but not for shared libraries),
- override unwanted #inclibs (although arguably this is not the ideal solution for that, but just a last resort),
- disable only some default libs, instead of all as done by -nodeflibs:
For example, this could be used to specifically omit libtinfo.
Using -nodeflibs would omit a lot more (including fbrt0.o) which would have to be re-added manually again.
