X=y \ ./configure .... is equivalent to X=y ./configure .... which tells bash to export X=y just for the command './configure'. This behaviour is explained in "SIMPLE COMMAND EXPANSION" in the 'bash' man page. X=y \ %configure .... becomes X=y CFLAGS=..... ; export CFLAGS ; ./configure .... so now "X=y" is not part of the same commands as "./configure", so the automatic export doesn't happen. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
