Using automake 1.16.5, in my Makefile.am, I have the following lines: noinst_LTLIBRARIES = liba2ps.la liba2ps_la_LDFLAGS = $(LIBGC_LIBS) liba2ps_la_SOURCES = $(liba2pssources) $(libitsources) $(mylibitsources) liba2ps_la_LIBADD = ../lib/libgnu.la $(LIBINTL) $(LIBSOCKET) $(GETHOSTNAME_LIB)
noinst_LIBRARIES = libnowarnings.a libnowarnings_a_CFLAGS = $(LIBGC_FLAGS) libnowarnings_a_LDFLAGS = $(LIBGC_LIBS) libnowarnings_a_SOURCES = fonts.l lexppd.l parseppd.y regex.c regex.h confg.c confg.h (This is from GNU a2ps <https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/a2ps>'s liba2ps/Makefile.am.) When automake is run, it warns: liba2ps/Makefile.am:63: warning: variable 'libnowarnings_a_LDFLAGS' is defined but no program or liba2ps/Makefile.am:63: library has 'libnowarnings_a' as canonical name (possible typo) I don't understand this, because libnowarnings.a is defined as the canonical name of a library. In src/Makfile.am, I have the following lines: noinst_LIBRARIES = libparse.a libparse_a_SOURCES = parsessh.y lexssh.l lexps.l sheets-map.l libparse_a_CFLAGS = $(LIBGC_FLAGS) and I get no warnings. I have no LTLIBRARIES in this Makefile.am. If in the first Makefile.am I change the convenience library "libnowarnings.a" to a libtool library "libnowarnings.la", and add it to noinst_LTLIBRARIES, and rename the other variables accordingly, then again I get no warnings. -- https://rrt.sc3d.org
