I am a bit confused on what is the proper usage of the
variables
AST_LIBS, LIBS, SOLINK and ASTLDFLAGS in the Asterisk's
Makefiles.
At the top of the main level Makefile there is a comment
that i
wrote some time ago, basing on my understanding at the
time,
but the content is probably stale if not wrong due to more
recent
changes in the build system, the introduction of embedded
modules,
and the like:
# All Makefiles use the following variables:
#
# ASTCFLAGS - compiler options
# ASTLDFLAGS - linker flags (not libraries)
# AST_LIBS - libraries to build binaries XXX
# LIBS - additional libraries, at top-level for all
links,
# on a single object just for that object
# SOLINK - linker flags used only for creating shared
objects (.so files),
# used for all .so links
In particular:
- I am not clear if/how LIBS is used at all;
- what's the appropriate content for SOLINK (e.g. can it
contain
paths e.g. -L/my/special/lib ) given that it is not used
when
building with embedded modules ?
I made a wrong use of SOLINK in my video_v2 branch, but i
see
there is another suspect use in the top level makefile,
and some instances of LIBS are highly suspect
My best guess is that:
- LIB and SOLINK should almost never be used (and we should
explain
why and how it makes sense);
- ASTLDFLAGS should contain only generic linker flags
(probably excluding -L... and -l...)
- AST_LIBS should contain only -L... -l... and similar
Additionally, we should probably avoid specialized variables
such as
H323LDFLAGS, PTHREAD_CFLAGS and so on.
Makes sense ?
cheers
