ldflags is ignored when building go project - go

Question

I want to have multiple binaries in one repository, but also set the version via ldflags option.
With just one binary in a repository I have no problem, it works, but with the new structure for multiple binaries it doesn't seem to work.
I have set up a simple project on github .
The structure is simple
cmd/
- server/main.go
- service/main.go
libcommon/
- version.go
- ...
go.mod
Makefile
version.go
package libcommon
var (
Version = "dev"
Build = "now"
)
Makefile
BUILDDIR = bin
VERSION := $(shell git describe --tags --always --dirty)
BUILD := $(shell date +%Y-%m-%d\ %H:%M)
LDFLAGS=-ldflags="-w -s -X 'libcommon.Version=${VERSION}' -X 'libcommon.Build=${BUILD}'"
go build ${LDFLAGS} -o $(BUILDDIR)/ ./...
I call make install and the binary is put into bin/ directory, but when I run it it just prints out the default values, not the ones I'd assume to be in there.
Any idea on how I can get to set the version with the ldflags in this layout?
Thanks in advance.

To correctly set the variable with -ldflags you have to qualify the variable name with the full package import path:
In Makefile:
LDFLAGS=-ldflags="-w -s \
-X 'mymodule.com/path/to/libcommon.Version=${VERSION}' \
-X 'mymodule.com/path/to/libcommon.Build=${BUILD}'"
build:
go build ${LDFLAGS} -o $(BUILDDIR)/ ./...```
