Easy to get the -L options and -l options separatly with a good old 'cut' : $ xml2-config --libs | cut -d " " -f 1 -L/home/spierre/software/libxml2-2.7.8/lib $ xml2-config --libs | cut -d " " -f 2- -lxml2 -lz -lm
My new Makefile.am: bin_PROGRAMS = xmlparsefile xmlparsefile_SOURCES = main.c xmlparsefile_LDFLAGS = `xml2-config --libs | cut -d " " -f 1` xmlparsefile_LDADD = `xml2-config --libs | cut -d " " -f 2-` xmlparsefile_CFLAGS = -Wall -Wextra `xml2-config --cflags But error : $ autoreconf src/Makefile.am:4: linker flags such as `--libs' belong in `xmlparsefile_LDFLAGS autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 Do you see how to avoid this error? ----- Mail original ----- De: "Csaba Raduly" <rcs...@gmail.com> À: "spam spam spam spam" <spam.spam.spam.s...@free.fr> Cc: xml@gnome.org Envoyé: Lundi 20 Février 2012 10:05:45 Objet: Re: [xml] The order of arguments when compiling On Mon, Feb 20, 2012 at 9:06 AM, <spam.spam.spam.s...@free.fr> wrote: > Hum...

I think that `xml2-config --libs` , which outputs -L options (that go into LDFLAGS) and -l options (that go into LDADD) together, does not play well with automake that expects them separately. If xml2-config had separate --ldflags and --libs options, it would have been easier for you. Unfortunately, it doesn't.
