----- Forwarded message from Christian Ohm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2001 02:28:10 +0100 From: Christian Ohm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: autoconf2.13: autoconf adds -g to cflags/cxxflags Package: autoconf2.13 Version: 2.13-39 Severity: normal hi. since some time, autoconf unconditionally adds '-g' to the CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS (after "testing whether gcc/g++ accepts -g..."). i haven't found a way to disable this behaviour, and since it increases the needed space considerably (for example, before this (or after editing the configure script manually), a compiled exult source tree was about 25mb, after it was about 125mb and the binary alone was 25mb), it would be nice, if the old behaviour could be restored. bye -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux moongate 2.4.13 #1 Sat Oct 27 15:44:43 CEST 2001 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages autoconf2.13 depends on: ii autoconf 2.52-4 automatic configure script builder ii debianutils 1.15 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii m4 1.4-13 a macro processing language ii perl 5.6.1-5 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-modules [libfile-temp-pe 5.6.1-5 Core Perl modules. -- In the next world, you're on your own. ----- End forwarded message ----- the answer was the following: --- Sorry, I'm not going to fork autoconf for something like this, and certainly not in an old version (2.13) when the new version (2.52) is already in Debian. If you want this behavior to be standard then please talk to the upstream folks at [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- thus, i'm writing this to ask if there's a chance that this behaviour is changed. thanks co -- The only real advantage to punk music is that nobody can whistle it.
