It would be useful if Automake supported a set of options (e.g. LDFLAGS) which are applied only when building libraries or when building programs. It is excessively painful to have to add per-target _LDFLAGS options. Perhaps there should be both 'LT' and non-'LT' macro versions.
Certainly this can be accomplished by overriding Automake's standard LINK and COMPILE definitions, but overriding standard definitions is risky. Bob ====================================== Bob Friesenhahn [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen
