How to link shared library via GNU Autotools

Question

I'm trying to understand GNU Autools.

My project compiles fine when I add -lxyz to the command line g++ .... xyz doesn't support pkg-config. What line do I need to add to Makefile.am? And to which Makefile.am do I add it - there is one for each directory?

Add it to LDADD. See the "Linking" node in the manual.

You can either add it to each program's prog_LDADD, or put it globally in LDADD. You need to do this in each Makefile.am that links a program that uses this library.
