After searching pretty extensively the web and nabble I could not find the answer to what I think ought to be a simple question: is there a way to change the default options/flags so that every time g++ is invoked additional, default flags are added to those flags passed with the command? In my particular example I need to have the -ffriend-injection flag passed every time I call g++ and I don't want to have to add it to all my makefiles. I am fairly new to linux and I tried making an alias (alias g++='g++ -ffriend-injection') but this did not work when g++ is called from make, which I guess makes sense since it is not executed as a command to bash. Any help with this would be appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/g%2B%2B-default-options-flags-tf4809633.html#a13761339 Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
