How to link the objects that are not created by libtool

[sea star]

Hi,

I have a set of object files built by libool and other set of object files
that are not built by libool. The non-libtool object files are created
outside of my project to which I have limited access.

I have the following in my Makefile.am:

objdir=/nfsmnt/projx/build/release/
OBJS="$(objdir)/bar.o $(testdir)/foo.o"

testSDB_SOURCES = $(testdir)/testSDB.cpp

testSDB_LDADD = $(test_LIBS) $(OBJS) -lboost_system -lboost_thread

testSDB_CPPFLAGS = $(SDB_FLAGS) $(CLIENT_FLAGS) $(SERVER_INCS)



At the time of linking, I'm getting the following make error and it
complains that there is no make target for object files defined in OBJS.

make: *** No rule to make target `"/nfsmnt/projx/build/release/bar.o',
needed by `testSDB'. Stop.

Is there a way stop "make" looking for rule skip building bar.o/foo.o
instead just use the pre-built non-libtool object files during linking? If
so, how do I do that?

I tried specifying OBJS in testSDB_Dependencies(testSDB_DEPENDENCIES=
$(OBJS)), but I was still getting the same error. I couldn't find the
suitable variables at https://www.gnu.org/software/
automake/manual/automake.html#Program-and-Library-Variables to accomplish
my needs.

Any help/advice?

Thanks,
cvin

Please try to add

.PHONY: $(objdir)/bar.lo:

$(objdir)/bar.lo:

to your Makefile.am

I've tested your rules. Simply remove the double quotes surrounding the OBJS value and it will work.
