Does Library Link Order Matter?

If using CMake, library link order does not matter as CMake and the libraries take care of it.

If using a different build system, it is system dependent. For Windows/OSX/macOS, it does not matter. For Android and Linux, it may matter for some underlying compilers.

Make sure that for Linux and Android, link order is in reversed order of dependencies: dependents (high level) first, to dependencies (low level) last. So the order should be:

1. PVRUtils, PVRCamera

2. PVRShell, PVRAssets

3. PVRCore, PVRVk

4. System libraries (usually: m, thread for linux, android_native_app_glue for Android)

If there are undefined references to functions that appear to be present, apart from needing a library that is not included, this is a common culprit.
