2007-12-31 Thread Christopher Sean Morrison
Is there a good/easy/maintainable way to set the same CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS for the entire project except for one specific subtree? I'm using a recursive automake build where a few flags are default set by configure (e.g. overrides the default "-O2 -g" to different flags). I'd like to enable m

Counterproductive presumptuous flamings aside, there are compelling arguments on both sides of the issue for having or quelling verbose compilation output. Depending on at least the development environment, requirements, expectations, and values of the developers, I've been in situations w

Apologies on the delayed reply, but I felt like taking the bait.. I respectfully and fully disagree that running make in a subdirectory is admission of anything other than a need to clean some a subset of a given project in a convenient manner. The reason someone might want to do a make clean
