during the debian packaging of externals i once more stumbled across one of my many problems with make, which i was never able to solve in a satisfactory way.
it is: the Makefile uses CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to set crucial flags to the build process e.g. LDFLAGS uses "-Wl,--export-dynamic -shared" to build shared libraries (in our case: externals) however, some meta build processes (like debian packaging) explicitely set these FLAGS to what they think are good optimization/debugging defaults e.g. make get's called like $ /usr/bin/make LDFLAGS="" CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" this however effectively disables all the settings done within the Makefile, which leads to not passing "-Wl,--export-dynamic -shared" to the linker, leading to a fatal error when linking. what is the canonical way to use the passed FLAGS and at the same time adding whatever is needed? something like 'PD_LDFLAGS="-Wl,--export-dynamic -shared $(LDFLAGS)"' and then consequently using $(PD_LDFLAGS) in the linking stage? this is such a fundamental thing that i'm sure there has to be an elegant solution to this but i never came across one. the PD_LDFLAGS seems a bit like a kludge to me. fgmsdr IOhannes
