No. Autoconf puts code in configure that may add '-g -O2' to $CXXFLAGS (if the compiler accepts it). The configure.ac script of the package you are compiling may add the contents of $CXXFLAGS to $AM_CXXFLAGS (and AC_SUBST(AM_CPPFLAGS) to transport that to the Makefiles). > However, if I'd be to modify that one, I'd need to resupply all those > flags the libraries need (and which are currently taken from > pkg-config). Is there any more elegant and handy way of doing it? With a package that doesn't do the above (or something similar), make CXXFLAGS=-g should work (for GNU make; portable make may need CXXFLAGS=-g make -e instead). Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
