Turns on/off the automatic linking of `.obj` files that are output by custom build commands. The default behaviour is to link `.obj` files when they are output by custom build commands.
```lua
linkbuildoutputs "value"
```
### Parameters ###
`value` is a boolean value, i.e. "On" or "Off".
### Applies To ###
Project configurations and rules.
### Availability ###
Premake 5.0 or later.
### Examples ###
Use [custom build commands](Custom-Build-Commands.md) to copy Wavefront .obj model files around without the linker trying to link them:
```lua
filter "**/models/**.obj"
-- Copy these files into the target directory while preserving the
-- folder structure.
buildcommands {
os.translateCommands '{mkdir} "%{ path.join(cfg.buildtarget.directory, path.getdirectory(file.relpath)) }"',
os.translateCommands '{copy} "%{ file.relpath }" "%{ path.join(cfg.buildtarget.directory, path.getdirectory(file.relpath)) }"'
}
buildoutputs "%{ path.join(cfg.buildtarget.directory, file.relpath) }"
-- The default behaviour is to link .obj if a custom build command
-- outputs them, but we don't want that since these are Wavefront .obj
-- model files and not object files.
linkbuildoutputs "Off"
```
