What is -lgba in the gba template Makefile?

[0505gonzalez]

Hello,

I wanted to add another library in addition to libgba, so I was trying to understand the Makefile for the gba examples. There is a line LIB := -lgba in the makefile. Can someone explain what "-lgba" is? Is it a flag specific to the arm gcc compiler? If so, can you guys point me to the documentation that explains what it does?

it tells the linker to link libgba library to your program

-l<library>
