I think
  unitTest_LDADD = ../src/libDecomp.la $(COINDEPEND_LIBS)
or
  unitTest_LDADD = ../src/libDecomp.la $(DIPLIB_LIBS)
should also work.
DIPLIB_LIBS are the dependencies of the DIP library, without the DIP
library itself.
COINDEPEND_LIBS are the flags to link against the CoinDepend package.
So they are probably the same.

Next to the dependencies of the DIP library, the unittest would also
need the DIP library itself, that's where the ../src/libDecomp.la comes
from.

No.

Use the old .la style for the OS libraries and the YYY_LIBS for all
others, i.e., your dependencies.
