Passing arguments into LDFLAGS
Hi, I know I can do the likes of export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -blah" and it will pass whatever CFLAGS is plus the argument "-blah" to the compiler. How do I do this with LDFLAGS. I'm trying to pass --build-id using export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS --build-id" It's about the only way I can get mono to build currently!

Another possibility would be to add linker flags to CFLAGS. Something similar to -Wl,, c.f. man gcc for details. > It's about the only way I can get mono to build currently! ... no clues about mono on my part. ... and I am not sure if --build-id is a linker option or a general GCC option (This would mean it should be added to CFLAGS).

When gcc is used to indirectly call ld, it won't always pass the $LDFLAGS to the linker. To force it to you have to use the -Wl switch and replace all spaces in the switch with commas. For example: LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl--build-id -s" -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Re: Passing arguments into LDFLAGS
As I said before, this is almost certainly the wrong fix. If you share your code already, you will get the help you need quickly. As long as you don't, and just ask over-specific questions rather than let people see the context to help you properly, you will get only frustration.
