You should always adjust any build process which wants to use custom compiler flags to use the standard Fedora flags. Well-written build systems allow you to set compiler flags trivially with a parameter or environment variable. Badly-written ones hard-code their preferred flags and require you to patch before you can pass in the Fedora flags. In the latter case, patch the build system and send the patch upstream. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
