Sorry if this is a question already answered, but I couldn't find this on google, this list and the manual, searching for "LINK (without) ($CFLAGS)" The fact is that after running autoconf and automake, the makefile tries to link while also putting $CFLAGS on the command line. I checked that the ($CFLAGS) directive was also present in Makefile.in, so I guess that rules out an automake issue then. I, however, do not know whether this is a libtool or autoconf issue. Now, gcc handles compiler flags on the command line well when linking, but 'ld' on a Tru64 machine doesn't :-) So my question is, is there a simple way to only include ($CFLAGS) when compiling, and only ($LDFLAGS) when linking, NOT ($CFLAGS)? For the record, the (I hope) relevant lines in configure.in are: Oh, and by the way, I tried setting LDFLAGS to "" using AC_SUBST, but that didn't help either :-) [ QUOTE configure.in ] AM_DISABLE_SHARED # Checks for programs AC_PROG_CC AC_PROG_INSTALL AC_PROG_LN_S AC_PROG_MAKE_SET AC_PROG_AWK AC_PROG_LIBTOOL # Checks for header files. { SNIP } # Checks for typedefs, structures, and compiler characteristics. { SNIP } # Checks for library functions. { SNIP } #create include variable #create compiler options AC_SUBST(CFLAGS, "-g -O -Wall -ansi") [ /QUOTE ] and my Makefile.am: [ QUOTE Makefile.am ] bin_PROGRAMS = synop_zzz synop_zzz_SOURCES = synop_zzz.c synop_zzz_LDADD = @top_srcdir@/generic/libgeneric.la @top_srcdir@/bufr_parser/libbufr_parser.la @top_srcdir@/conversions/libconversions.la INCLUDES = -I@top_srcdir@/generic -I@top_srcdir@/bufr_parser -I@top_srcdir@/conversions [ /QUOTE ] _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
