在哪里指定要链接到makefile中的库

Question

I'm sorry about the long text. But I want to compile the libxls library for C++. I've amended it to use ICU for handling encoding. Where in the following makefile can I add the respective library files to be linked to? NOTE, these libraries are named for ex. icudt.lib, so the notation -L, -l won't work. Also, ICU is setup with pkg-config, if that helps. And there are also a makefile.am and makefile.in, if they have any importance.

As you can see, I tried setting the LIBS variable:

LIBS = /mingw/lib/icuin.lib /mingw/lib/icuuc.lib /mingw/lib/icudt.lib

but it doesn't work.

Please help!

Answer 1

Here's what I've found:

# The following naming scheme is used for libraries.
#
# On *nix:
#     libxxx.a       static library
#     libxxx.so      shared library
#
# On windows (msvc)
#     libxxx.lib     static library
#     xxx.dll        DLL
#     xxx.lib        import library
#
# On windows (mingw):
#     libxxx.a       static library
#     libxxx.dll     DLL
#     libxxx.dll.a   import library
#
# On cygwin i.e. <target-os>cygwin
#     libxxx.a       static library
#     cygxxx.dll     DLL
#     libxxx.dll.a   import library

It appears gcc detects all of these types on my windows. So, it finally worked with the -lxxx notation, but I used it as an argument to the configure script. I still don't know where I can put them manually in the makefile . I've searched the generated makefiles for the libraries but couldn't find them. Don't know where automake has put them.
