Re: [xml] The order of arguments when compiling

[spam spam spam spam free fr]

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?

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.
