The linkoptions function passes arguments directly to the linker command line without translation.
linkoptions { "options" }
If a project includes multiple calls to linkoptions the lists are concatenated, in the order in which they appear in the script.
Applies To
Solutions, projects, and configurations.
Parameters
options is a list of linker flags and options, specific to a particular linker.
Examples
Use pkg-config style configuration when building on Linux with GCC. Build options are always linker specific and should be targeted to a particular toolset.
configuration { "linux", "gmake" } linkoptions { "`wx-config --libs`" }



in Examples closing character is missing.
correct is:
configuration { "linux", "gmake" }
buildoptions { "`wx-config --ldflags`" }
Fixed, thanks for reporting it!
and more correctly (topic is 'linkoptions' not 'buildoptions'):
configuration { "linux", "gmake" } linkoptions { "`wx-config --ldflags`" } <code>configuration { "linux", "gmake" } linkoptions { "`wx-config --libs`" }- topic is 'linkoptions' not 'buildoptions'
- wx-config wants --libs and not --ldflags
