Specifying Alternate Tools and Paths

Use the Qlocation option to specify an alternate path for a tool. This option accepts two arguments using the following syntax:

Qlocation Syntax
# (Linux* and OS X*) -Qlocation,`tool`,`path`
# (Windows*) /Qlocation,`tool`,`path`

where tool designates which compilation tool is associated with the alternate path.

`tool`	Description
cpp	Specifies the compiler front-end preprocessor.
c	Specifies the C++ compiler.
asm	Specifies the assembler.
link	Specifies the linker.

Use the Qoption option to pass an option specified by optlist to a tool, where optlist is a comma-separated list of options. The syntax for this command is:

Qoption Syntax
# (Linux* and OS X*) -Qoption,`tool`,`optlist`
# (Windows*) /Qoption,`tool`,`optlist`

where tool designates which compilation tool receives the optlist.

`tool`	Description
cpp	Specifies the compiler front-end preprocessor.
c	Specifies the C++ compiler.
asm	Specifies the assembler.
link	Specifies the linker.

optlist indicates one or more valid argument strings for the designated program. If the argument is a command-line option, you must include the hyphen. If the argument contains a space or tab character, the entire argument must be enclosed in quotation characters (""). Separate multiple arguments with commas.
