Environment variables for the linker Foundation

ALINK.EXE looks for the environment variable "ALINK" and uses its contents as default options. An example of a definition for the environment variable is: 

SET ALINK=/DEBUG /PMTYPE:PM

This creates a debug-enabled GUI application by default. All options specified on the command line are processed after the SET ALINK= options. Therefore, command line options override those set with the environment variable.

In addition, the linker uses SET LIB= as a search path for OBJ and LIB files. ALINK searches for OBJ and LIB files in the following order:

The directory specified as part of a file name.
The current directory.
All directories defined in the environment variable SET LIB=.

If an OBJ or LIB file is not found, ALINK issues an error message and terminates the link process.
