I notice that in some places people have overridden any existing CFLAGS when adding -fcommon. In most places, for those of us who care the fix is obvious (CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -fcommon"). One or two packages will turn out to be more painful.
The first I've found is freeglut, where the book uses -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-fcommon For people without any existing CFLAGS, that does the right thing and respects the -O3 etc from specifying a Release build (seen by using 'make VERBOSE=1') but for people who have extra flags such as "-march=native -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" those just get thrown away. I'd assumed I could add -DCMAKE_CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -fcommon" but if I do that, cmake tells me that CFLAGS was not referenced. In this case, I am getting the right results (testing on a gcc-9 system) with: CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -fcommon" \ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DFREEGLUT_BUILD_DEMOS=OFF \ -DFREEGLUT_BUILD_STATIC_LIBS=OFF \ -Wno-dev .. Can I ask people to at least *consider* not trashing a user's specified CFLAGS ? ĸen -- See You Later, Holy Poppadom! -- Red Dwarf, The Promised Land -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
