Object files are linked to form a software component.

VMAKE uses different tools for linking the different object files that can occur during the translation process. VMAKE uses the file extension of the description file to decide which tool to use to link the respective object file. The tool takes the object files and the relevant options to be used from the link description.

VMAKE stores the software components created during linking in a predefined or in a target directory specified by the link description and deletes them afterwards in the tmp directory.
