Required for background indexing to work which enables jumping to symbols in files which have not been opened.

-L tells the linker where to find library files at compile time. An alternate flag -R is available on some systems to specify library paths at runtime. Paths included with -R will be inserted into the resulting binary.

Library includes in non-standard locations require the addition of a '-L[path/to/library]' flag to tell the compiler where the library is located. In the compile command, the -L flags should be placed after the library -l (lowercase L) includes and the library -l includes should be placed after the -I (uppercase i) file includes. Basically, libraries and files which reference other files/libraries should be placed after the files/libraries they are referencing. -L tells the linker where to find library files at compile time. An alternate flag -R is available on some systems to specify library paths at runtime. Paths included with -R will be inserted into the resulting binary. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31455979/how-to-specify-libraries-paths-in-gcc

Need to improve my current method for determining the correct python executable. On windows, 'where python3' prints out the path that python3 would be installed if it was installed through the windows store.
