(automake) A Library

 
 Building a library
 ==================
 
    Building a library is much like building a program.  In this case,
 the name of the primary is `LIBRARIES'.  Libraries can be installed in
 `libdir' or `pkglibdir'.
 
     A Shared Library, for information on how to build shared
 libraries using Libtool and the `LTLIBRARIES' primary.
 
    Each `_LIBRARIES' variable is a list of the libraries to be built.
 For instance to create a library named `libcpio.a', but not install it,
 you would write:
 
      noinst_LIBRARIES = libcpio.a
 
    The sources that go into a library are determined exactly as they are
 for programs, via the `_SOURCES' variables.  Note that the library name
 is canonicalized ( Canonicalization), so the `_SOURCES' variable
 corresponding to `liblob.a' is `liblob_a_SOURCES', not
 `liblob.a_SOURCES'.
 
    Extra objects can be added to a library using the `LIBRARY_LIBADD'
 variable.  This should be used for objects determined by `configure'.
 Again from `cpio':
 
      libcpio_a_LIBADD = @LIBOBJS@ @ALLOCA@
 
    In addition, sources for extra objects that will not exist until
 configure-time must be added to the `BUILT_SOURCES' variable (
 Sources).
