The port must respect the CFLAGS
variable. What we mean by this is that the port must not set
the value of this variable absolutely, overriding the existing
value; instead, it may append whatever values it needs to the
existing value. This is so that build options that affect all
ports can be set globally.
If it does not, please add
NO_PACKAGE=ignores cflags
to the
Makefile
.
An example of a Makefile
respecting
the CFLAGS
variable follows. Note the
+=
:
CFLAGS+= -Wall -Werror
Here is an example which does not respect the
CFLAGS
variable:
CFLAGS= -Wall -Werror
The CFLAGS
variable is defined on
FreeBSD systems in /etc/make.conf
. The first
example appends additional flags to the
CFLAGS
variable, preserving any system-wide
definitions. The second example clobbers anything previously
defined.
You should remove optimization flags from the third party
Makefile
s. System
CFLAGS
contains system-wide optimization
flags. An example from an unmodified
Makefile
:
CFLAGS= -O3 -funroll-loops -DHAVE_SOUND
Using system optimization flags, the
Makefile
would look similar to the
following example:
CFLAGS+= -DHAVE_SOUND
