Stop using LDFLAGS for libraries (2.44 KB, patch)
2014-02-25 21:44 UTC, Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 		committed Details | Review

Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2014-02-13 12:13:51 UTC 
This was introduced for probably-no-longer-relevant reasons in bug 85785:

# Note that these libs are in LDFLAGS because they should come before
# everything else on the link line as they may override stuff
gdm_LDFLAGS =                           \
        $(EXTRA_DAEMON_LIBS)                    \
        $(NULL)

Maybe it's time to remove it.

Stop using LDFLAGS for libraries

Originally, EXTRA_*_LIBS was introduced as a way to get certain
libraries to the front of the line when invoking the linker in order to
control which version of a library we got.  See bug 85785 for the
history there.

This is probably no longer needed, so officially declare that the only
thing that the EXTRA_ variables mean is "not from pkg-config".

Move all of the EXTRA_*_LIBS from LDFLAGS to _LDADD, along with some
other things that were improperly in LDFLAGS.
