8.3.7 _LIBADD, _LDFLAGS, and _LIBTOOLFLAGS
As shown in previous sections, the ‘library_LIBADD’ variable should be used to list extra libtool objects (‘.lo’ files) or libtool libraries (‘.la’) to add to library.
The ‘library_LDFLAGS’ variable is the place to list additional libtool linking flags, such as ‘-version-info’, ‘-static’, and a lot more. See Link mode in The Libtool Manual.
The libtool command has two kinds of options: mode-specific
options and generic options. Mode-specific options such as the
aforementioned linking flags should be lumped with the other flags
passed to the tool invoked by libtool (hence the use of
‘library_LDFLAGS’ for libtool linking flags). Generic
options include ‘--tag=tag’ and ‘--silent’
(see Invoking libtool in The Libtool Manual for more options) should appear before the mode
selection on the command line; in ‘Makefile.am’s they should
be listed in the ‘library_LIBTOOLFLAGS’ variable.
If ‘library_LIBTOOLFLAGS’ is not defined, then the variable
AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS is used instead.
These flags are passed to libtool after the ‘--tag=tag’
option computed by Automake (if any), so
‘library_LIBTOOLFLAGS’ (or AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS) is a
good place to override or supplement the ‘--tag=tag’
setting.
The libtool rules also use a LIBTOOLFLAGS variable that should
not be set in ‘Makefile.am’: this is a user variable (see section Flag Variables Ordering. It allows users to run ‘make
LIBTOOLFLAGS=--silent’, for instance. Note that the verbosity of
libtool can also be influenced by the Automake support
for silent rules (see section How Automake can help in silencing make).
