[dpdk-dev,v6,1/2] Simplify the ifdefs in rte.app.mk.

  Trying to simplify the ifdefs in rte.app.mk to make the code
more readable and maintainable by moving LDLIBS variable to use
the same style as LDLIBS-y being used in the rest of the code.

Added a new variable called EXTRA_LDLIBS to be used by example apps
instead of using LDLIBS directly. The new internal variable _LDLIBS
should not be used outside of the rte.app.mk file. The makefiles
can still use LDLIBS, but I would suggest using EXTRA_LDLIBS instead.

Why are you suggesting to change LIBS to EXTRA_LIBS?
We discussed in a previous thread that EXTRA_* variables should
(as much as possible) be kept empty in Makefiles as it allows a
user to append things in them.

By the way, it would be easier to follow the different versions
of your patches if you add "--in-reply-to <Message-ID>" in your
git-send-email command, as described in http://dpdk.org/dev

Regards,
Olivier

Hi Olivier,

I do not change LIBS to EXTRA_LIBS as I did not touch those variables.

I did add EXTRA_LDLIBS and let LDLIBS as it was in the patch. I also
created LDLIBS-y as an internal variable. Did I miss your point here?

In your previous mail, you say "The makefiles can still use LDLIBS,
but I would suggest using EXTRA_LDLIBS instead."

The question is: why are you suggesting that?

And in the patch you are submitting, you are replacing LDLIBS
by EXTRA_LDLIBS in examples/dpdk_qat/Makefile and
examples/vm_power_manager/Makefile.

Regards,
Olivier

That is why I did not put it in the previous email. Sorry if I offend you in some way.

Why are you feeling changing to EXTRA_* is the right way?
Are you seeing a problem with the current use of LDLIBS?

Like I said previously (and Bruce agreed on that), using EXTRA_*
should be avoided in Makefiles because it prevents to append
something to the variable from the command line.

Olivier
