Link cilkrts to external application

[gonidelis]

I have download and built OpenCilk/cilkrts from source. I have exported ~/cilk/cilkrts/build/install/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH but I still get /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcilkrts when compiling one of you applications with the Tapir-LLVM compiler.

What am I missing here?

In addition to adding that path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH (which tells the dynamic linker where to find the library), I think you need to tell the compiler where to find the library. You should be able to do that by specifying passing -L~/cilk/cilkrts/build/install/lib to the compiler.
