Where does the $(LIB) should be plugged in in the Makefile below. I am
getting an error that reads:
------------------
exception.hpp linker input file unused because linking not done
------------------
Thanks in advance folks.

# My Makefile

# Compiler name

CPP=g++

# Flagas

CFLAGS = -Wall -g -ansi `gtk-config --cflags`
LIBS = `gtk-config --libs`#-- What do I do with this var? -#

# Files to be included
EXCEPTION_HPP=./exception/exception.hpp
EXCEPTION_CPP=./exception/exception.cpp

# Variables

OBJS = main.o exception.o

EXEC = MyApp

#Application name

my_app: $(OBJS)

$(CPP) $(LDLIBS) $(OBJS) -o $(EXEC)

main.o: main.cpp

$(CPP) $(CFLAGS) -c main.cpp

exception.o: $(EXCEPTION_HPP)

$(CPP) $(CFLAGS) -c $(EXCEPTION_CPP)

clean:

rm -f exception.o

rm -f $(EXEC)

PHONY: clean

You might want to choose between LIBS and LDLIBS :-)
