Or rather, how does it work now?
Setting CC/CXX/CPP and such in src.conf doesn't work, at least not for all Makefiles in world. There are still many of them that don't do the right thing, picking up CC values from sys.mk and/or make.conf instead. The trickiest one is Makefile.inc1, which does some special magic, and isn't really a normal BSD Makefile anyway. :) I've got a git branch with some experiments to have all the compiler settings read from src.conf instead of make.conf, but I didn't finish it before some other work took precedence... _______________________________________________ freebsd-toolchain@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-toolchain To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-toolchain-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
