A way to emulate "Directory Search for Link Libraries"

[patrice.elasri]

Hello,

 

In order not to recompile the target when one dynamic library has changed, I decided to separate dynamic from static libraries in the rule’s prerequisites, as following :

 

exe_target_file: object … static_libraries | dynamic_libraries

 

However, the library list is stored in a unique variable $(LDLIBS), under the following form “-lname”.

So my problem is to filter the static libraries from the result of the "Directory Search for Link Libraries", applied to this variable content.

To do that, I need to emulate/perform this operation before applying the filter function :

 

exe_target_file: object … $(filter %.a, $(dir_search $(LDLIBS))) | $(filter-out %.a, $(dir_search $(LDLIBS)))

Does someone have any idea to resolve this problem ?
