One told me on that ML that it is normal that automake uses g++ for
linking, even if MY_COND is not verified. One possible way to work around
that is redefining rules of linking, according to the value of MY_COND.
Something like (maybe not 100% correct) :
if MY_COND
foo_la-bar2.lo: bar2.cpp
$(LTCXXCOMPILE) blah blah blah
else
foo_la-bar2.lo: bar2.c
$(LTCOMPILE) blah blah blah
endif
Is there something more elegant than doing that ?
Not really. I agree that it's kind of ugly, but what's even more,
there are uses relying on something like this to happen: it was
actually recommended to do e.g.,
if COND_FALSE
nodist_foo_SOURCES += force-c++-linker.cc
endif
so I'm afraid you might have to live with a workaround.
You can set foo_LINK for linking.
