I have a package which uses LAPACK. Since many users don't have it installed, or because it is compiled with another Fortran compiler than the one that is installed on their system (and hence used as a linker) I end up getting many questions from people.
I want to go for the solution also used in Octave: that is: detect Lapack and detect of the Fortran is compatible with it - if NOT : compile LAPACK from source. PROBLEM: A few files in LAPACK require to be built without optimization (dlmach.f). The problem is that I cannot override FFLAGS with either AM_FFLAGS or libname_FFLAGS since the user is supposed to be the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Simply overriding FFLAGS in Makefile.am generates warning from Automake but it does the trick. QUESTION: Is there another way over override FFLAGS cleanly, possibly only forcing optimization to none while retaining the other (if any) flags specified in FFLAGS ?
