ld: link object files together

ld is a command-line program to link object files together.

Link a specific object file with no dependencies into an executable:

ld path/to/file.o --output path/to/output_executable

Link two object files together:

ld path/to/file1.o path/to/file2.o --output path/to/output_executable

Dynamically link an x86_64 program to glibc (file paths change depending on the system):

ld --output path/to/output_executable --dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib/crt1.o /lib/crti.o -lc path/to/file.o /lib/crtn.o
