8.3.8 ‘LTLIBOBJS’ and ‘LTALLOCA’ -------------------------------- Where an ordinary library might include ‘$(LIBOBJS)’ or ‘$(ALLOCA)’ (⇒LIBOBJS), a libtool library must use ‘$(LTLIBOBJS)’ or ‘$(LTALLOCA)’. This is required because the object files that libtool operates on do not necessarily end in ‘.o’. Nowadays, the computation of ‘LTLIBOBJS’ from ‘LIBOBJS’ is performed automatically by Autoconf (⇒(automake-1.16))).
