Re: NU-B question about including other files

Get rid of the space in the variable reference to LIB_OBJS.  When you do 
this, make is trying to reference a variable called "LIB_OBJS " (note 
the space at the end of the variable name, which doesn't exist.  It 
should work after that modification.

this is wrong:
all: my_app $(LIB_OBJS )

this is right:
all: my_app $(LIB_OBJS)
