/MACHINE (Specify Target Platform)

Syntax

/MACHINE:{IX86|MIPS|ALPHA|PPC|MPPC}

This option specifies the target platform for the program.

Usually, you do not need to specify the /MACHINE option. LINK infers the machine type from the .OBJ files. However, in some circumstances LINK cannot determine the machine type and issues a linker tools error LNK1113. If such an error occurs, specify /MACHINE.
