On many modern systems it is not necessary to link against indirect dependencies. > 1) Is my friend right ?

But beware that it may break things with some compilers (notably C++ ones), with some apps that do dlopen and expect dependencies to be present, and did not work right in some older versions of ld. > eet_LDADD = $(top_builddir)/src/lib/libeet.la > eet_DEPENDENCIES = $(top_builddir)/src/lib/libeet.la The last line is not needed, automake can infer that from the one above.
