I'm not certain, but doesn't gcc use the highest optimization (O3) if any higher number is given? I'd have to test that, but if it's true, the sed would be useless. Also, if you have CFLAGS set at configure time, MPlayer respects that. Does for me, anyway. So, that would make the mention of setting CFLAGS unnecessary since it would be just like any normal package that checks CFLAGS at configure time. > >>3.

I agree with Randy here. We shouldn't explicitly disable OSS since some people might want it. However, I'd appreciate if it was mentioned in the Command Explanations. If no one feels like doing that, I can add the text in. > >>CFLAGS= ./configure --prefix=/usr --confdir=/etc/mplayer > >>--with-codecsdir=/usr/lib/mplayer/codecs \ > >> --enable-largefiles --disable-ossaudio && > >>sed -i "[EMAIL PROTECTED]@-O3@" config.mak && If I'm wrong about -O4 becoming -O3, then you can just change the value in configure. sed -i 's/-O3/-O4/' configure There's no reason to pass null CFLAGS to configure. It does exactly what it's supposed to. If CFLAGS aren't set, you get what the developer thinks. If they are set, you get what you want. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
