It is LDLIBS instead of LDLIBS-y, following may work: -_LDLIBS-$(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_PMD) += -lrte_pmd_ixgbe +ifeq ($(CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB),y) +ifeq ($(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_PMD),y) +LDLIBS += -lrte_pmd_ixgbe +endif +endif Also using EXTRA_LDLIBS instead of LDLIBS may remove the requirement of the SHARED_LIB check, because of where it is located, but this seems just coincidental.
