Hi
At the moment I have a --with argument that is off by default and I
would like to change this so that is on by default and users will need
to configure using --without-arg or --with-arg=no to disable the
feature, essentially adding a lot of strict warning flags. I currently
define the option using:
AC_DEFUN([LAL_WITH_GCC_FLAGS],
[AC_ARG_WITH(
[gcc_flags],
AC_HELP_STRING([--with-gcc-flags],[turn on strict gcc warning flags]),
[ if test -n "${with_gcc_flags}"
then
lal_gcc_flags="-g3 -O4 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align
-Wwrite-strings -fno-common -Wnested-externs -Wno-format-zero-length"
case $host_cpu-$host_os in
*i386-darwin*) lal_gcc_flags="${lal_gcc_flags} -pedantic" ;;
*) lal_gcc_flags="${lal_gcc_flags} -pedantic-errors" ;;
esac
else
lal_gcc_flags=""
fi
], [ lal_gcc_flags="" ] )
])
and then call it in configure.ac with:
LAL_WITH_GCC_FLAGS
then just before AC_OUTPUT, so that the flags don't interfere with
compiler tests, I have the following:
if test "$GCC" = yes; then
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $lal_gcc_flags"
fi
So to modify this to be on by default I am planning to just add the
flags in the "action-if-not-given" section of AC_ARG_WITH? Is this the
best way to accomplish this or is there a better way to use default
with args?
Cheers
Adam
