Hi Madhav,

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 -lSharedLibBut 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 -Lrelease1testApp: file.o -lSharedLib$(CXX) $(LINK_FLAGS) -o $@ $^
Error:make: *** No rule to make target `-lSharedLib', needed by `testApp'. Stop.
A makefile contains rules and command (and other things). Rules are lists of targets, followed by separator (colon, double-colon, etc), followed by lists of dependencies. Commands are lines prefixed with a TAB character. In your rule, you have a linker option (-lSharedLib) in your dependency list. The target list and the dependency list must only contain file names, or macros that resolve to file names, or patterns (containing '%' or '*' characters) that can match file names. You can't put anything else into either the target or dependency list. What you probably wanted to write was this (untested):
LINK_FLAGS= -g -pg -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage -fPIC -Lrelease1testApp: file.o
$(CXX) $(LINK_FLAGS) -o $@ file.o -lSharedLib
Note that I changed $^ to file.o in the command line because $^ is not portable between various flavors of make.
