@EdwinPratt Perhaps you meant to say that -L tells GCC where to look for binary libraries to include (which are specified with -l). And -I tells GCC where to look for header files to include.

@falsePockets The -L flag tells GCC to include a library. For example, gcc -c -c a.c will include libmath. The -I flags tells GCC to include files from a different directory.

What's the difference between -I and -L?

According to this answer to a similar question, gcc would not search the subdirectories for the different header files automatically. Instead, pkg-config could produce the proper -I option?

| Sep 6, 2011 at 6:20 | comment | added | Nav | Glad to see this answer here. Another point worth mentioning would be that when you have many ".c" source files, it's necessary to specify each and every one of them in the commandline itself. You can't just do something like a -I to specify that all source files are in a certain directory. | |
