Okay. "make -e …" could be run in that case as a work-around. But overriding Makefile variables completely can be less than ideal (this can be observed in some spec files where the packagers also adds the libs to link with, so the build doesn't break). Better would be that the Makefile inherits from values passed in via Make or the env. When using %configure always, even if not available, that makes it possible to reuse the env vars it defines, and one doesn't need to access the RPM macros: %configure || : make CFLAGS="$CFLAGS" LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS" To repeat from the earlier reply, one may want to take precautions, so when a future upgrade adds a configure script, one drops the '|| :'. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
