341 :: VCC linker options should be prefixed with /link and at the end of the cl.exe call

  I am trying to compile a gtk example w/ the latest stable release (haven't tried master yet) using vcc with the following command:

  nimrod compile --cincludes:C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2.0\VC\INCLUDE --cincludes:C:\PROGRA~1\MI2578~1\WINDOWS\V7.0A\INCLUDE --clibdir:C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2.0\VC\LIB --clibdir:C:\PROGRA~1\MI2578~1\WINDOWS\V7.0A\LIB ex2.nim

  I get this towards the end:

  cl.exe  /DEBUG /Zi /Fd"$projectName.pdb" /F33554432 /LIBPATH:C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2.0\VC\LIB /LIBPATH:C:\PROGRA~1\MI2578~1\WINDOWS\V7.0A\LIB  /Fec:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\ex2.exe  c:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\nimcache\gdk2.obj c:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\nimcache\gdk2pixbuf.obj c:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\nimcache\pango.obj c:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\nimcache\atk.obj c:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\nimcache\gtk2.obj c:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\nimcache\glib2.obj c:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\nimcache\system.obj c:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\nimcache\ex2.obj

  I am using the Visual Studio 10.0 compiler. I believe the command should be:

  cl.exe /DEBUG /Zi /Fd"$projectName.pdb" /F33554432 /Fec:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\ex2.exe c:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\nimcache\gdk2.obj c:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\nimcache\gdk2pixbuf.obj c:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\nimcache\pango.obj c:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\nimcache\atk.obj c:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\nimcache\gtk2.obj c:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\nimcache\glib2.obj c:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\nimcache\system.obj c:\work\nimrod-play\gtk2\examples\nimcache\ex2.obj /link /LIBPATH:C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2.0\VC\LIB /LIBPATH:C:\PROGRA~1\MI2578~1\WINDOWS\V7.0A\LIB

  Note the linker values at the end. Am I doing something wrong or has this already been fixed in master? Figured I'd ask here before submitting a bug.

  Not sure, but you can configure these things to your heart's content. Look at confignimrod.cfg, vcc.options.linker etc.

  I have used that too but those options also put the linker options BEFORE the obj files in the CL commands. The Microsoft reference for the cl.exe tool (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/610ecb4h.aspx) shows that options passed to the linker must come at the end and be prefixed with /link.

  Looking at the nimrod code, it would be a very Windows specific change for ALL linker options to go at the end (especially since some of them in the default config are for cl.exe and not passed to link.exe). I was just mentioning that these arguments to the nimrod compiler do not work as is w/ vcc because they are not put in the right spot and are not prefixed with /link.
