The reason is very simple: > > OTHERFLAGS = -DVERSION="\"1.00\"" > CXXFLAGS = -g -W -Wall -pedantic $(OTHERFLAGS) Talk to the upstream author to use e.g. (GNU make specific): override CXXFLAGS += $(OTHERFLAGS) or tell him to better use one of the following: DEFS += -DVERSION="\"1.00\"" AM_CPPFLAGS += -DVERSION="\"1.00\"" foo_CPPFLAGS += -DVERSION="\"1.00\"" ... These are normnally not overwritten by the user and the correct place to leave a -D switch. There is enough documentation out there to find the correct solution.
