I think the follow-ups in this thread already demonstrated why it is an insufficient solution to make HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H imply -lcharset. We would instead need: ifeq ($(uname_S),MyHomeBrewLinux) HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H = YesPlease EXTLIBS += -lcharset endif or # Define NEEDS_CHARSETLIB if you use HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H and # need to link with -lcharset NEEDS_CHARSETLIB = ifeq ($(uname_S),MyHomeBrewLinux) HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H = YesPlease NEEDS_CHARSETLIB = YesPlease endif ifdef NEEDS_CHARSETLIB EXTLIBS += -lcharset endif or something like that, I guess. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
