I'm actually building the tests inside a test directory: $(top_srcdir)/tests, and the library I'm trying to link to is under $(top_srcdir)/yafeq. So if I remove the $(top_srcdir) then it doesn't work anymore.
So the only way I made it work so far is using LDADD = $(top_srcdir)/yafeq/libyafeq.la I mean, the tests are built fine if I add this line to the $(top_srcdir)/tests/Makefile.am.
