Conditionally build a shared or convenience library

[Mike Heffner]

Hi,

I would like to have the same library built as a standalone shared library
in one case, but when the library's source tree is mapped as a subdirectory of
another library, built as a convenience library (static). However, following the
examples of conditional library compilation in the automake manual, I can't seem
to extend them to get the following to work:

        lib_LTLIBRARIES=
        noinst_LTLIBRARIES=
        
        if FOO_STANDALONE
        lib_LTLIBRARIES+=libfoo.la
        else
        noinst_LTLIBRARIES+=libfoo.la
        endif

Automake reports this as an error:

foo/Makefile.am:21: `libfoo.la' is already going to be installed in `lib'
foo/Makefile.am:19: `libfoo.la' previously declared here

What is the correct way of doing this conditional library building?


Thanks,

Mike
