Makefile: set parameters for commands executed by implicit rules (CFLAGS, LDFLAGS)

I'm very new to makefiles. I'm reading the GNU-make manual, but I'm still unclear about how to set the parameters for the compiler and the linker when they are executed by an implicit rule. This is part of the makefile, note there is no explicit declaration of how to compile and link everything:

.PHONY: $(TARGET) build_libs

all: build_libs $(TARGET)

$(TARGET):
    @echo "============> building target: $(TARGET)"
    @$(MAKE) -C $(SDK_PATH)/VP_SDK/Build $(TMP_SDK_FLAGS) $(SDK_FLAGS) $(MAKECMDGOALS) USE_LINUX=yes
    mv $(ARDRONE_TARGET_DIR)/ardrone_testing_tool $(TARGET)
    mv $(TARGET) $(ARDRONE_TARGET_DIR)/
    @echo "============> end building target: $(TARGET)"

$(MAKECMDGOALS): build_libs
    @echo "============> making cmd goals"
    @$(MAKE) -C $(SDK_PATH)/VP_SDK/Build $(TMP_SDK_FLAGS) $(SDK_FLAGS) $(MAKECMDGOALS) USE_LINUX=yes
    @echo "============> end making cmd goals"

build_libs:
    @echo "============> building libs"
    @$(MAKE) -C $(SDK_PATH)/Soft/Build $(TMP_SDK_FLAGS) $(SDK_FLAGS) $(MAKECMDGOALS) USE_LINUX=yes
    @echo "============> end building libs"

That makefile builds an executable from the source files and library. But I want to compile them into a shared library. Because of that I (think I) have to add the -fPIC parameter to cc and the -shared and -soname parameters to ld. I've tried with CFLAGS=-fPIC and LDFLAGS=-shared -soname foo, which didn't work. Has anybody suggestions on how to get a shared libarary? If you need more information please just ask. Thanks in advance!

If custom.makefile and config.makefile are needed you can find them here: http://pastebin.com/H8PNKKhu

UPDATE 2: I just discovered this, located in $(SDK_PATH)/VP_SDK/Build: http://pastebin.com/3knnSkmy

Solution

  • I did it. Finally!!!

    The solution: in $(SDK_PATH)/VP_SDK/Build there was a file named generic.makefile containing all the compiler and linker invocations. I had to add the -shared and -fPIC arguments to some of them. Sounds really simple, but nothing of that was documented so I first had to look for that hidden compiler/linker invocations...
