If libwiringPi.a or .so is found in a standard system library location
such as /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib then to your Makefile that builds the
IOC executable (probably in a somethingApp/src directory) you would add
the line

  PROD_SYS_LIBS += wiringPi

which tells the build that it needs to link the IOC with this system
library after it compiles your subroutine record code found in the same
directory.

If you are building libwiringPi.{a,so} yourself as part of this IOC then
I will have more questions about how and where you are building that
library to give you the correct answer. Let's start with that one though.
