The options mean exactly the same as they do when passed to the link.exe program from VC++. FIPS_TARGET is the location of the output target file. You can seem some examples of its usage in ms\nt.mak Unless you have to use static libraries I'd suggest linking against the shared libraries: you don't have to use any special link procedure to use those.
