No. When automake cannot see a literal in a *_LDADD or *_LIBADD statement, it cannot interpolate it to the respective *_DEPENDENCIES variable: non-literal content might expand to stuff like '-lm' or '-L/foo' which would cause 'make' to barf if listed as prerequisites somewhere. > How do I workaround it? Build the *_DEPENDENCIES variable yourself. You have to take care of all of its entries if you do so, it overwrites, not appends to, any automake-computed library dependencies. Cheers, Ralf
