GCC -R -L

cc test.c -L/home/linden -R/home/linden -lfruit

The -L/home/linden -R/home/linden options tell the linker in which directories to look for libraries at linktime and at runtime, respectively.

The compiler option -Lpathname is used to tell the linker a list of other directories in which to search for libraries that have been specified with the -l option. There are a couple of environment variables, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_RUN_PATH, that can also be used to provide this information. Using these environment variables is now officially frowned on, for reasons of security, performance, and build/execute independence. Use the -Lpathname -Rpathname options at linktime instead.
