Weird problem with LIBADD

[Sylvestre Ledru]

Hello,

I have a problem with LIBADD in one of my Makefile.am.

I am building a library thanks to libtool with C and Fortran sources
(nothing really eccentric here).

lib_LTLIBRARIES = libcore.la
libcore_la_SOURCES = $(CORE_C_SOURCES) $(CORE_FORTRAN_SOURCES)
$(GATEWAY_C_SOURCES) $(GATEWAY_FORTRAN_SOURCES) # about 290 files

This lib has many dependencies.

libcore_la_DEPENDENCIES = \
$(top_builddir)/libs/blas/libblas.la \
$(top_builddir)/libs/lapack/liblapack.la \
$(top_builddir)/libs/MALLOC/libmalloc.la \
$(top_builddir)/modules/cacsd/libcacsd.la \
$(top_builddir)/modules/differential_equations/libdifferential_equations.la \
$(top_builddir)/modules/polynomials/libpolynomials.la \
$(top_builddir)/modules/elementaries_functions/libelementaries_functions.la \
$(top_builddir)/modules/signal_processing/libsignal_processing.la

libcore_la_LIBADD = $(libcore_la_DEPENDENCIES)

Of course, all the dependencies are resolved and I have all the *.la
files OK.

However, when I try to compile this, it says that :
grep: /home/sylvestre/dev/scilab5/modules/core/libcore.la: No such file
or directory
/bin/sed: can't
read /home/sylvestre/dev/scilab5/modules/core/libcore.la: No such file
or directory
libtool: link: `/home/sylvestre/dev/scilab5/modules/core/libcore.la' is
not a valid libtool archive
make: *** [libcore.la] Error 1

Of course, this file is missing. It is the one I am trying to build ! :)

When I commet the last line of DEPENDENCIES
($(top_builddir)/modules/signal_processing/libsignal_processing.la), it
is working... I have this problem when I try to include other libs.

It is not the first time that I see that with the autotools.
I am using automake 1.9.6, autoconf 2.60a and libtool 2.1a.

Cheers,
Sylvestre
PS 1 : sorry if it is more a libtool issue than an automake problem.

PS 2 :The command which fails is :
/bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=F77 --mode=link gfortran  -g -Wall
