From 13d08c906fd061e1ebd673789b132ce2a5d2e782 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phil Pennock Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2012 03:27:47 -0700 Subject: Let Linux makefile inherit CFLAGS/CFLAGS_DYNAMIC. Pulled from Debian 30_dontoverridecflags.dpatch by Andreas Metzler. We just add CFLAGS_DYNAMIC too and some comments. Non-POSIX syntax, but fairly portable; GNU make gained it in 1998, we believe even very old systems should handle it fine. --- src/OS/Makefile-Linux | 9 +++++++-- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'src/OS/Makefile-Linux') diff --git a/src/OS/Makefile-Linux b/src/OS/Makefile-Linux index 8b721410e..990f884e9 100644 --- a/src/OS/Makefile-Linux +++ b/src/OS/Makefile-Linux @@ -1,5 +1,9 @@ # Exim: OS-specific make file for Linux.
