I am just posting this to make sure I understand the difference between these:
AM_CFLAGS - compile time flags AM_CPPFLAGS - preprocessor flags (e.g. -I, -D) AM_LDFLAGS - linker flags (e.g. -L) I am working on a project that is updating its Makefile.am files. I see a variety of flags in one variable like CFLAGS contains -I and -F flags for example. I was wondering what is the advantage of doing this with automake variables? Stephen
