Trouble linking through g++

[Madhav Ancha]

Hi,

   When I run the linker through the command line like this, it works. 

      g++ -g -pg -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage -Lrelease1 -o testApp file.o -lSharedLib

   

   But when i run from a make file with the follow equivalent commands, it does not. It gives the error reproduced below. can you help debug the cause. 

     LINK_FLAGS= -g -pg -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage -fPIC -Lrelease1

      testApp: file.o -lSharedLib

      $(CXX) $(LINK_FLAGS) -o $@ $^

Error:

     make: *** No rule to make target `-lSharedLib', needed by `testApp'.  Stop.

Thanks,

Madhav Ancha.
