Yeah J, you're probably right. I suppose I might try to justify the settings in usrinst.sh by saying that these are the normal settings for "users" needing to build the library (usually developers). These are the settings I use daily while I develop (no shared libs, with debug).
But I'm sure you're at least building with shared libs for your release package, yes? I guess if you have some mechanism to build both debug and non-debug libs, then you probably have the answer as to how the -O3 flag is being set. I have always thought -g and -O3 to be in conflict-- usually the resulting code from -O3 is unintelligible while trying to trace through in gdb, but I guess technically they aren't in conflict. I wonder if the optimized code including debug (-g -O3) is just as fast as -O3 without -g... Troy On Fri, 2009-12-04 at 20:20 -0800, Jonathan Marsden wrote: > Troy A.
