Hi everybody, I'm using Autoconf (2.57) and automake to generate a makefile for my program. My program uses libraries I made. Let's say I put them in /home/maillot/local/lib.
In order to check for one of these home made libraries, I add these lines in my configure.in: LDFLAGS="-L/home/maillot/local/lib $LDFLAGS" AC_SUBST(LDFLAGS) # and then AC_CHECK_LIB(name_of_lib_without_prefix_lib, func_in_my_lib) The problem is this test fails: "checking for e_fpl_table_new in -lefpl... no" So I tried to invoke my ./configure this way: "./configure LDFLAGS="-L/home/maillot/local/lib" But the test fails again, as I expected. What did I do wrong? I checked for any possible spelling mistake (on path name, library name and function name), so I really can't see where this problem might come from (probably something really supid I forgot to do!) Thanks in advance! Michael. P.S.: Of course, I searched in the archive for possible discussion about any similar problem. But I've already done what I found in the answers.
