Hmmm, I've these bits in my top level makefile, which get the stuff
together.
....
ethereal_additional_libs = \
gtk/libui.a \
wiretap/libwiretap.la \
epan/libethereal.la
....
ethereal_LDADD = \
$(ethereal_optional_objects) \
$(ethereal_additional_libs) \
\
$(plugin_ldadd) \
....
ethereal$(EXEEXT): $(ethereal_OBJECTS) $(ethereal_DEPENDENCIES)
@rm -f ethereal$(EXEEXT)
$(LINK) $(ethereal_LDFLAGS) $(ethereal_OBJECTS) $(ethereal_LDADD) $(LIBS)
....
BTW: is the config.in suitable for AIX ?
