How can I write a PowerShell alias with arguments in the middle?

by

You want to use a function, not an alias, as Roman mentioned. Something like this:

function mybuild { g++ $args -lib1 -lib2 ... }

To try this out, here’s a simple example:

PS> function docmd { cmd /c $args there }
PS> docmd echo hello
hello there
PS>

You might also want to put this in your profile in order to have it available whenever you run PowerShell. The name of your profile file is contained in $profile.
