Hi,
I need to link some libraries which are in sysroot into my source code. These are usdpaa libraries.
I added DEPENDS += "usdpaa" in .bb file.
Apart from that also changed the Makefile.am of my source to include the following:
area_LDADD = -lusdpaa_of
Then I ran aclocal, autoconf, automake --add-missing and retarred my package.
When the package is being built from recipe, do_compile fails. It shows "undefined reference to" error.
So this means that libraries are not getting linked by just doing the above changes. What else I need to change?

I think this problem is specific to autotools based projects as when I include the libraries during the gcc command they are easily included.

do_compile() {
    ${CC} check.c -o check -lusdpaa_of
}
