But even if setting CXXFLAGS in the template did override this code, it would be a mistake, because the point of this code is to allow a choice between g++-specific and vendor's-compiler-specific CXXFLAGS. Perhaps we could do something like this: # set defaults for most platforms GCC_CXXFLAGS="-O2" VENDOR_CXXFLAGS= # now include template, which may override either of the above # now select proper CXXFLAGS if test "$ac_env_CXXFLAGS" != set; then if test "$GXX" = yes; then CXXFLAGS="$GCC_CXXFLAGS" else CXXFLAGS="$VENDOR_CXXFLAGS" fi fi This would allow us to push the special cases for osf and unixware out into their template files, which would be a Good Thing. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
