title: What is the difference between LDADD and LIBADD?
body: <p>I'm trying to setup an automake project that uses a mix of libtool libraries and exectuables, and I'm having a hard time grokking the automake documentation, esp. as relates to telling the compiler to link against.</p>
  
  <p>So can someone explain the differences between <code>LDADD</code> and <code>LIBADD</code>?</p>
  
  <p>Things like:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>when is one used over the other,</li>
  <li>which one takes <code>-lname_of_library</code> style values vs. direct filenames,
  etc.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Whenever I try to read the relevant documentation, it seems like it assumes that I know things that I don't.</p>
