Hi,
In configure.in, i have:
AM_CONDITIONAL(ENABLE_GTK_DOC, test x$enable_gtk_doc = xyes)
and it gets turned into:
if test x$enable_gtk_doc = xyes; then
ENABLE_GTK_DOC_TRUE=
ENABLE_GTK_DOC_FALSE='#'
else
ENABLE_GTK_DOC_TRUE='#'
ENABLE_GTK_DOC_FALSE=

Isn't this backward? When

Hello all,
When I use autoconf/automake tools to generate makefile for my package, the
CXXFLAGS is always added -O2 by tools, while I don't want to use for
debuging.
Is it possible to remove it from options of configure command or some other
ways better than removing it manually

Generally, when I build with the DEBUG macro defined, it's because I want to step through a portion of my code with the debugger. However, I've noticed that using AC_PROG_CC sets CFLAGS to -g -O2 on GCC - and tries to use similar options on other compilers.

A few comments:
Many portable C programs assume that signed integer overflow wraps around
reliably using two's complement arithmetic.
I'd replace portable C programs with widely-used C programs. The normal
use of portable means that it conforms to the standard.

I've just got autoconf 2.57 and automake 1.7 to compile a gtk 2.2.2 program.

Which configure.ac macro should i use for a gtk2 app?

Is there redundancy here, or does one macro supercede the others?
Why aren't the first two macros in the archive?:

I still think --enable-default-size=5.8 is best suited for your needs.
But it's only cosmetic change.
Maybe a new macro should be made for setting numerical defaults
