[PATCH] mk: fix app linking for combined libs

[PATCH] mk: fix app linking for combined libs

[Sergio Gonzalez Monroy]

Building combined shared libraries results in applications being linked
against separeted/individual and combined libs altogether.

Link only against combined lib when the config option is enabled.

Minor typo in the commit message: "separeted".

You are resetting LDLIBS here.
It's not easy to read and probably not desired.
I think it would be better to explicitly disable separated libs
in this case.

Yes, I am resetting LDLIBS so we just link against the combined lib instead of all the previous separated libs.
I am not sure I understand what you mean with 'disable separated libs in this case'.

By "disable separated libs", I mean enclose the LDLIBS lines for separated libs
with ifneq ($(RTE_BUILD_COMBINE_LIBS),y)
Using ifeq is more explicit than inserting LDLIBS= in the middle of LDLIBS+= lines.
Do you agree?

That makes sense, I agree it would be easier to read that way.
I'll work on a v2.

Neil, I didn't noticed your ack which happened after a discussion I had with
Sergio. He agreed to make a v2.
Actually Hiroshi did it:
	http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-December/009847.html
I'm going to apply Hiroshi's one.
