If I want automake warnings to be fatal throughout the entire tree, is it better to: - run automake (or autoreconf) with -Werror - Put -Werror in the top-level Makefile.am's AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS - Put -Werror in every Makefile.am's AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS I am thinking about the case where somebody gets a changed subdir Makefile.am (from an update from the source code management system, for example) and it gets rebuilt automatically. I suspect the answer is that it has to go everywhere, but I wanted to ask to be sure. H
