Without this patch there is no straight forward way to pass additional CPPFLAGS at configure-time. At TWW, everything non-vendor package is installed to its own subdirectory, so we need the following to show the preprocessor where the headers for the libraries we will link later can be found: $SHELL ./configure \ CPPFLAGS="-I${SB_VAR_CURL_INC}\ -I${SB_VAR_LIBEXPAT_INC}\ -I${SB_VAR_LIBZ_INC}\ ${CPPFLAGS+ $CPPFLAGS}" <<...>> --- Makefile | 2 +- config.mak.in | 1 + 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) Index: b/Makefile =================================================================== --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -246,7 +246,7 @@ endif CFLAGS = -g -O2 -Wall LDFLAGS = -ALL_CFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) +ALL_CFLAGS = $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) ALL_LDFLAGS = $(LDFLAGS) STRIP ?= strip Index: b/config.mak.in =================================================================== --- a/config.mak.in +++ b/config.mak.in @@ -3,6 +3,7 @@ CC = @CC@ CFLAGS = @CFLAGS@ +CPPFLAGS = @CPPFLAGS@ LDFLAGS = @LDFLAGS@ CC_LD_DYNPATH = @CC_LD_DYNPATH@ AR = @AR@ -- Gary V.
