Library defined but no canonical name
automake, autotools
Solution
`_LDFLAGS` isn't valid for a static library, only for an executable or a shared library. You may want `_LIBADD` instead. It seems to me that the error message could be improved.
Problem
I'm trying to build a project using autotools and getting this error: ``` $ autoreconf --install automake: warnings are treated as errors src/Makefile.am:3: warning: variable 'librombrowser_a_LDFLAGS' is defined but no program or src/Makefile.am:3: library has 'librombrowser_a' as canonical name (possible typo) autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 ``` the src/Makefile.am is following: ``` noinst_LIBRARIES = librombrowser.a librombrowser_a_CPPFLAGS = $(GTK_CFLAGS) librombrowser_a_LDFLAGS = $(GTK_LIBS) librombrowser_a_SOURCES = \ rombrowser-app.c \ rombrowser-app.h \ rombrowser-cmds-file.c \ rombrowser-cmds-help.c \ rombrowser-cmds.h \ rombrowser-dirs.c \ rombrowser-dirs.h \ rombrowser-settings.c \ rombrowser-settings.h bin_PROGRAMS = rombrowser rombrowser_SOURCES = rombrowser.c rombrowser_LDADD = librombrowser ``` I'm not seeing what's wrong.
