It's difficult to actually catch a compiler command in bacula anymore, most being hidden behind "compiling file.c" sort of stuff. But QT stills bares itself and when I made the above change and tested it on Fedora 8, FORTIFY_SOURCE was still set to 2.
So I think I am done with this issue unless someone can advise me. For now I have set the following line in my .rpmmacros file for building the Fedora 8 binaries I will supply: %__global_cflags -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 -fno-exceptions -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-rtti It will require a different solution in other distributions as it becomes a problem since they don't share common macro names or even file structure. For example in SUSE, were it necessary at this point to do the same thing, there is no %__global_cflags variable, you have to set %optflags as copied and modified from the platform folder in /usr/lib/rpm/... The use of global distribution compiler options is generally accepted to be a good thing, it gives you a certainty that all software is compiled in a consistent manner. And the distribution can say things like, we are addressing security concerns by setting FORTIFY_SOURCE=2. The problem is that rpm doesn't permit modification of those global settings at the package level in the way that say Gentoo does with portage as far as I can determine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
