I hear this advice from time to time (and I have read what the autoconf and automake manuals have to say). Yet, as a practical matter, -l and -L flags frequently wind up as part of the same autoconf substitution in many build systems (e.g., such falls out of the typical usage pattern for pkg-config) and consequently get put into *_LDFLAGS as a unit. I do not think I have observed any bad effects from this to date. Is this advice really still relevant? Are all those packages that apply -l and -L together as a unit Doing It Wrong? -- Braden McDaniel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
