undefined reference to `crypt‘

才疏学浅，对C了解不多。Linux下尝试写一个密码校验模块时，编译出错。查了半天跟gcc链接选项位置有关，记录一下。

最初编译过程，报错：

gcc -lcrypt chkpwd.c -o chkpwd

/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccVl9cer.o: in function `main':
chkpwd.c:(.text+0x7d): undefined reference to `crypt'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [<内置>：chkpwd] 错误 1

后来无意间执行成功了：

gcc chkpwd.c -o chkpwd -lcrypt

只是-l放置位置不同，前者报错，后者通过。

从StackOverflow以及gcc man手册查到原因：

-l library
           Search the library named library when linking.  (The second alternative with the library as a separate argument is only for
           POSIX compliance and is not recommended.)

           The -l option is passed directly to the linker by GCC.  Refer to your linker documentation for exact details.  The general
           description below applies to the GNU linker.
