Instead, if you think you need to override CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS etc., better pass them from the command line at configuration time (Should works with properly written autoconf/automake configurations), eg.: CFLAGS=-Wall CPPFLAGS=-DFOO=foo ./configure

I used to set `WARN' in the environment instead of `CFLAGS', and doing: CFLAGS="$WARN" ./configure (with maybe an extra level of quotes, I do not remember exactly). Some packages are quite far, even very far, from being warning-clean, and so, this is a bit annoying. I might return to the `WARN' trick[1].

but nobody is perfect :)

Yes, I know, not even me! :-) ---------- [1] Schultz wrote a page in which Snoopy was dancing with a big smile. Lucy comes in, and she shouts at him all the reasons why one should not rejoice; hunger, pollution, war, etc. Snoopy becomes still, bent, sad, ears pending. _Then_, Lucy gets smiling, and moves out. Snoopy ponders for a while, before he restarts dancing, as high and as smiling as initially, but this time, thinking: "I prefer blind happiness!" -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
