Oh. I need to investigate why it says that; thanks for pointing this out. > So, for libraries, there is no *_LDADD variable. Yes, I don't think I claimed that.

So, use the > `PROG_LDFLAGS' variable for this purpose. In what way is this opposite to my statement? -l is listed as exception in parentheses. Cheers, Ralf
