Generally only one linker is run per target to build a static library, dynamic library, or executable. The id attribute of the linker specifies which type of linking is performed.
exe - Overwrites the command for this linker.<exe name="command" />
flag - Adds a single link flag.<flag value="flag"/>
ext - Default extension for generated files - if not overridden by target.
..<ext value=".ext"/>
outflag - Sets the flag for specifying linker output name.
value - flag value. Note that it should contain a space character if the actual name should be a separate argument, like -o<space>, or -o/-out: if the name should be appended directly.<outflag value="-o"/>
section - Groups blocks of elements - usually ones that all respect the same if/unless condition.<section>...</section>
libdir - Sets the temporary directory name to build into. This will capture the extra files the compiler generates, then the desired file will be copied to the correct location.<libdir name="name"/>
lib - Adds a library to the link line.
name - the complete name is specified.base - the name without a compiler-specific extension (.a/.lib) is specified.hxbase - the name without an extension and architecture (-v7/.iphonesim) is specified.<lib (name|hxbase|base)="libName" />
prefix - Sets the prefix for generated files.
value - prefix. This will usually be lib or nothing.<prefix value="lib"/>
ranlib - Specifies whether ranlib needs to be run, and what command to use. Usually used only for Unix-style static libraries.<ranlib name="ranlib command"/>
libpathflag - Sets the flag used for adding library paths to command line. It will be combined with lib entries.<libpathflag value="-L"/>
recreate - Specifies whether to delete the target file before re-running the link command. The archive ar command sometimes adds object files to existing archives, so deleting first can help.<recreate value="true"/>
expandAr - Specifies whether to extract the individual object files from an archive and add these, rather than add the archive as a single library. Can solve some link-order and static-initialization issues, but may make the final executable bigger.<expandAr value="true"/>
fromfile - If the linker supports taking a list of objects in a single file, then this is flag for specifying the file.
value - flag for specifying the file. If the filename should be a separate argument, then the flag should end with a space. Usually @ or -filelist . Set to empty to disable.needsQuotes - whether to quote object names in the file.<fromfile value="flag" needsQuotes="true" />
