Question

Say I want a very simple makefile that includes libraries to link (lets say -lm)

CFLAGS=-Wall -g
LIBS=-lm

How do I get $(LIBS) to the right part of the command without having to manually construct the command inside the makefile and breaking a bunch of the implicit rules?

I couldn’t find anything in the manual

Is it possible to simply replace the implicit rule with one written myself?

Answer 1

Following the link you gave, there’s the LDFLAGS :

LDFLAGS
Extra flags to give to compilers when they are supposed to invoke the linker, ‘ld’.
