[Mono-dev] Referring to libraries on the command line

[Tom Spink]

Hi Russel,

Did you say you were using make?

If so, you can be clever in make like this:

///
LIBS := $(wildcard *.dll)
REFS := $(foreach LIB,$(LIBS),-r:$(LIB))
///

Then, you can use $(REFS) on the gmcs command-line, like this:

gmcs ... $(REFS) ...

(where the ellipses is your already existing command-line)

This will populate all the DLLs in the current directory into LIBS,
then generate the references command-line in REFS.

Hope this helps,
Tom.
