Hi, I am trying to compile a simple program that use a static library in ~/lib with corresponding include file in ~/include. My LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes ~/lib. Here is the Makefile
------------------------------------------------------------------ CC=gcc GLLIB=-lGL GLULIB=-lGLU GUILIBS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 OTHRLIBS=-lm GLTKPATH=/home/bt GLTKLIB=-L$(GLTKPATH)/lib -lgltk GLTKINC=-I$(GLTKPATH)/include CFLAGS=$(GLTKINC) LDFLAGS=$(GUILIBS) $(GLLIB) $(GLULIB) $(OTHRLIBS) $(GLTKLIB) SRCFILES=$(wildcard *.c) OBJFILES=$(patsubst %.c,%.o, $(SRCFILES)) PROGRAMS=$(patsubst %.c,%, $(SRCFILES)) build: $(PROGRAMS) $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -o "$@" "$<" clean: rm -f $(PROGRAMS) ------------------------------------------------------------------- However the compilation fails even though all the paths in this makefile are correct, gcc can not find symbols defined in libgltk.a . Also if I try to change the gcc command line and then run make again it does not run the changed version of the command !!! I am baffled. For instance if I surround the LDFLAGS argument with -Wl, --startgroup and -Wl, --endgroup and run make, these don't appear in the echoed command line. Of for that matter if I change the order of any of the gcc arguments, on executing make the changed order is not reflected in the echoed command line. In my working directory I only have two files : a c program and the Makefile. My make version is 3.80 and gcc version is 3.3.5 and I am using Debian/Sarge. Using vim's "set list" feature I can ensure there are not extraneous characters in the make file and tabs/newlines are where they should be. Would be grateful for you suggestions. regards b thomas _______________________________________________ help-gnu-utils mailing list help-gnu-utils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-utils
