gcc switch for reading compiler options from a file

gcc switch for reading compiler options from a file

[Moran-Strilchuk, Mike]

I'm looking for the switch to use on the command line so that I can read the
compiler options (and/or list of files) from a text file.  That is:
>>gcc <switch> input_file.txt

Can someone help me out with this?

Thanks!
-Mike

Hi,
I don't know if there is a suitable swithc - anyway you could use something 
like
cat input_file.txt | xargs gcc <other_switches>

Note that in this case <other_switches> will be read BEFORE the content of 
input_file.txt

Or (if using bash)
gcc <some_switches> $(cat input_file.txt) <other_switches>
