This is an autoconf.at.gnu.org question... Michael Lemke wrote:
Today I've been trying to learn automake&autoconf. Something I can't
figure out although it is the main reason I am investigating automake:
How do I set compiler flags based on the compiler? For example, g77 requires -fdollar-ok but Sun Fortran won't like that. How can I handle
that? How much does automake know about such problems?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Michael
check at configure-time if the compiler supports the option. Just try_compile and do not use if the test fails. That's it. http://ac-archive.sf.net/guidod/ac_check_cc_opt.html
