Does automake yet support doing something like this?: mylibdir_LIBRARIES=liba.a libb.b mylibdir_CPPFLAGS=-m32
mylibdir_liba_a_SOURCES=a.c mylibdir_libb_a_SOURCES=b.c that is, allowing me to avoid the two lines: mylibdir_liba_a_CPPFLAGS=-m32 mylibdir_libb_a_CPPFLAGS=-m32 I know I ask about it a lot, and I remember seeing posts about it awhile ago that looked promising regarding getting that feature. When you have many libs in one directory that all share a feature, it's extremely convenient to define that once (and yes, I'm aware of the workaround to toss -m32 in a variable and add that variable to each xxxx_CPPFLAGS line.... that's missing the point)
