One possible way to work around that is redefining rules of linking, according to the value of MY_COND. Something like (maybe not 100% correct) : if MY_COND foo_la-bar2.lo: bar2.cpp $(LTCXXCOMPILE) blah blah blah else foo_la-bar2.lo: bar2.c $(LTCOMPILE) blah blah blah endif Is there something more elegant than doing that ?Not really. I agree that it's kind of ugly, but what's even more, there are uses relying on something like this to happen: it was actually recommended to do e.g., if COND_FALSE nodist_foo_SOURCES += force-c++-linker.cc endif so I'm afraid you might have to live with a workaround. You can set foo_LINK for linking.
ok, thank you. I'll you the **_LINK variable Vincent Torri
