Exported project does not link in Embitz

[vargham]

There is an unwanted option in the exported project: -c in linker options. It must be removed every time when a project exported to Embitz.

-c Compile or assemble the source files, but do not link. The linking stage simply is not done.

[vargham]

I use the online IDE to export project.
Should I provide more information?

[theotherjimmy]

was fixed by #3521

[theotherjimmy]

That fix went into 5.3.3. The online tools are scheduled for an update soon, and that update will use version 5.3.5 or later, brining in this fix.

[vargham]

OK, Thank you.
