Rename LDFLAGS_SUFFIX to LIBS

XMLWordPrintable

    • b91

        The build system has not been good at separating LIBS from LDFLAGS. In fact, when we started doing this,
        the name "LDFLAGS_SUFFIX" was used for what is traditionally called LIBS. This unwieldy name has unfortunately
        been kept, and possibly as a cause of this, we have not been good at differing between flags to the linker
        and libraries needed to link with.

        We should rename LDFLAGS_SUFFIX (and all of it's variants) to LIBS, and make sure we use LDFLAGS for flags
        and LIBS for libs.
