hi there, how hard would it be to change the *.mk code so the following semantics apply:
- make.conf(5) == applies system-wide - src.conf(5) == applies only to /usr/src right now certain settings will not be picked up from src.conf(5), like CC or CXX. it seems src.conf(5)'s puspose atm is limited to setting WITHOUT_* options. as can be noticed in several questions on current@, toolchain@ and questions@, the current behavior is non-intuitive. a lot of users don't understand why certain settings inside /etc/src.conf don't get picked up when building a target such as buildkernel or buildworld. expecially in connection with switching to clang and clang++ confusion has been noticable more than once. cheers. alex -- a13x _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
