Your Subject lines need to be improved. First of all, can you preface them with something like [PATCH RT-TESTS]? Second, your descriptions are not good. I have also been accused of having poor descriptions, so you are not alone in this. However, "be more friendly" - that is not exactly a good technical description. Something like, "Separate CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS" would be better in my opinion. Did you test this?!!! I get errors like this src/pi_tests/pip_stress.c:57:24: fatal error: pip_stress.h: No such file or directory I believe you just need to add CPPFLAGS to the dependency part like this B diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index a6f7a1b..33e8d60 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -54,7 +54,7 @@ VPATH += src/hackbench # Pattern rule to generate dependency files from .c files %.d: %.c - @$(CC) -MM $(CFLAGS) $< | sed 's,\($*\)\.o[ :]*,\1.o $@ : ,g' > $@ || rm + @$(CC) -MM $(CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $< | sed 's,\($*\)\.o[ :]*,\1.o $@ : ,g .PHONY: all all: $(TARGETS) hwlatdetect Finally, I'm not sure I understand the benefit of separating the two, why do we need this? What is improved? Are you saying that the Debian build system breaks without it?
