I'm trying to use LDADD to reference libgslip.a in another directory. After building libgslip.a with make, I issue a make check and get the message:
*** No rule to make target '../libgslip/libgslip.a/', needed by 'SlipTest.exe'. Stop. The test directory is entered and the Makefile in the test directory is executed, so the path would seem to be correct but I am missing something. I have read Section 8.1.2 Linking the program and I think I'm following the example given, but alas, it just doesn't work. I have tried to use LDADD and prog_LDADD with the same effect. Maintenance turns design into chaos
